Gov. Phil Murphy has closed all state and county parks in New Jersey until further notice, but not everyone is happy about the decision.

According to the order from the governor, as of 8 p.m. Tuesday, all state and county parks have been shut down.

The closure also includes Liberty State Park in Jersey City, one of the largest state parks in the state. Hundreds of people visit the more than 1,200-acre park every day. […]

One group that immediately blasted the governor’s decision is the NJ Outdoor Alliance, calling the governor’s decision ridiculous, and urging the state to review the impact it could have on mental health. …

Another reason parks should be maintained by private enterprise.

Petty tyrants do love their self-awarded extra-Constitutional power over their subjects.

It seems that in many instances of closing public facilities (parks, facilities, school and so forth), the government “workers” still get paid. So, is the purpose to give those “workers” a vacay? Is the joke on us?

We’re going to see more of this, what always happens. Lagging actions that do not match the upcoming circumstances.

In a bid to be “proactive” they’ll keep throttling the economy with steps that may have been needed weeks ago.

But the time now is for courage to take new action.

It’s takes guts to make the calls that balance all the risks and trends.

So much easier to pile on, jump on the bandwagon. Ban everything!

We always assume we can fight the next war the same way we fought the last war. The battleground is shifting and many are still looking backward.

just my opinion

Now that the Comrade Governors have suspended the 1st Amendment what can we expect next. They are already working on the 2nd.

The virus is just a cover for implementing a general strike in support of Democrats, the Deep State and Leftist power grabs.

You are naturally apart from others at a park so this is more about control. What is next for him? Close the grocery stores?
