didnt want to stay for 6mos so i dropped it. |
If this is true, why are they out of money? If they have no costs, why does budget matter?

Let's make this a win/win proposition!
California should lease out their State parks individually to the highest bidder. Let private industry see if they can operate them at lower cost
than the State. Consequence: the State would then earn revenue, private industry would make a profit, and the public would "theoretically" pay lower
rates. What's not to like?
I am a former full time employee of the California Department of Parks and Recreation (not a Park Ranger). I worked there long enough, barely, to
qualify for a pension - 10 years. My State pension is about $300 per month - like that's going to keep me in champagne and caviar!

You should have applied for a prison job. Start at 18 (no college degree required), work till your 48 and then collect 90% of your last years salary
(which you've "slammed" by taking a one-time payout for your unused sick time) ... should be $100K plus for the rest of your life. Sweeeeeet!

I used to be proud to say that I am a 2nd generation Californian. Now I'm ashamed to admit I live in the state at all. I can't believe we went from
the great Ronald Reagan to moonbeam Jerry Brown! And to top it off, you have a very liberal state assembly full of idiots that only got elected
because they promise to take care of the leeches who don't contribute anything. Their way of living is figuring out how to receive the most benefits
possible without having to work for any of it. Except maybe they have to stand in a line at the welfare office with the other maggots and fill out a
couple of forms.
Its too late folks, the system can't be fixed. There are just too many voting leeches that want to suck us working folks dry. Business has figured
this out and their fleeing the state in droves. Less jobs, less taxes, more leeches on the dole. Productive people don't want to be sucked dry so they
leave as well. What happens when all that is left are the leeches? Can a leech leech off of a leech?
So where am I building my retirement home, BAJA! 
And California can go to hell for all I care. And to hell with the unions too!

CA is still the greatest state in the union, and all of you that can't afford to live here are green with envy!
If you live here and are complaining, then pleased leave!

increased taxes to keep the parks open.......... |
Exactly..."its for the children"

California Urging Non-Profits to Run Parks
Posted: 20 May 2011 04:51 AM PDT
With budget cuts threatening to force the shutdown of 70 California state parks, the state Assembly on Thursday (May 19) unanimously approved
legislation making it easier for nonprofit groups to take over operations at some parks. According to an Associated Press report, the bill, AB42,
passed 67-0 Thursday with little discussion and was sent to the [...]

There are non-profits and then there are non-profits. It's all about the charter. Unfortunately when most people read or hear about a non-profit, they
immediately think of a charitable organization.
Unfortunately, in way too many cases, these so-called non-profits are polar opposites of charity. Creative accounting is just one of the many ways
these organizations flourish.
That said, privatizing anything, in this era, means nothing less than Pavlov's bell.
There are too many to enumerate out there, that are "privatized" organizations, who are absolutely ripping off the tax payer for huge profit.
Just think of the situation in Iraq. The folks in chagre figure out that a war fought with conscripted soldiers would be open to widespread complaint
when things were not going well. So, we did awat with the draft, that basically took out the component of middle and upper middle class families that
would protest a lack of successs, and replaced many of those positions with " mercenaries" . No other way to put it.
There are more private contractors in Iraq today than US troups. Those contractors earn multiples of what a US soldier, marine or what have you is
earning. And it is the US taxpayer that's footing this bill.
It is fundamentally welfare for the friends of the power elite. Jackpot for the connected.
