Coral Hospitality will take over 5 Georgia State Parks
Clicky I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

Gypsy, my main point is in the post-script. That explains the essential difference between legitimate free-market enterprise and a give-away of the public trust. Coral Hospitality may well do a great job of managing the parks, but our disagreement is philosophical. I do not believe that a few investors should profit from a public resource that is being paid for by the taxpayers.
As for the fees and prices, you are correct that my guess as to where they will go is pure conjecture, but it is one that I would feel relatively safe betting on.

On edit: It occurred to me that I should explain why I have this opinion. When the proceeds from the public wealth stay in the public's hands they are more dispersed throughout the broader economy and that benefits everyone. When those proceeds are given to private corporations they become more concentrated and in fewer hands.
