Frankly if he were selling state parks to private interests, that would be good in my estimation. Contrary to Ken Burns' viewpoint, the nationalized park system was among the worst of ideas. There's no reason for any level of government to grab land for parks. Like everything else, private entrepreneurship always beats government in any realm. A corporation must answer to shareholders whereas government only acts on the whims of overpaid, underworked bureaucrats.

Feb 13, 2015: Scott Walker is right to ease up on state land purchases "...Wisconsin residents should continue to enjoy the outdoors, and under Walker's proposal, they will get to on the land the state already owns. The budget is tight, and adding more property is an extravagance taxpayers can't afford. The state should manage the government it has before it reflexively expands it every year."....

Please name me one private park like Yellowstone, Smokey mountains, etc(I know I can't)

While we both can surely agree the government has done an abysmal effort in running our national treasures, selling them off to private interests would have the "Ivan Boesky" (sp?) types sell development rights to the rich as their private estates and strip-mine the rest to satisfy hungry stockholders.

Nope, very bad idea.

As is/was "naming rights" to state/national parks(Even the thought of the former Texas stadium, now AT &T stadium makes me nauseous)

Go Cowboys!

"nationalized park system....worst of ideas"

I guess I disagree strongly with that statement.
