Jeepers, why don't we think like former President George W? All they have to do is cut the admission fees. That will raise more money, just like those famous tax cuts for the poor did for the Feds. Presto Chango! Magic! The whole problem with State Parks is that they are too expensive to get into, right?

Are there actually going to be any parks open after this year? Maybe they could put the billboards at the entrance to the park.

Is nothing sacred for the GOP?
