On the ABC evening news, there was a big sob story from a camper who couldn’t go camping this weekend because the MN state parks were closed. So the MN taxpayers are supposed to pay for people to go camping and also for child care credits for irresponsible people.
Shutting down the most popular programs is a common budget ploy. It’s likely that campgrounds were shut down, to garner support for more taxing and spending.
I have no problem with the idea of state parks.
