Border Field could revert to the Feds- along with other CA parks.


http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D995Q9I00&show_a...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The California governor's office says federal officials are threatening to seize six state parks if they are closed to help balance the state's budget.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed closing 220 state parks.

But the National Park Service warned in a letter to Schwarzenegger that six of those parks are on former federal land that could revert to the U.S. government if they are not kept open as parks.

State officials say they're trying to work with federal authorities to forestall a possible seizure. The state could also lose federal park funds.

The parks are Angel Island and Mount Diablo near San Francisco; Point Sur in Big Sur; and beaches at Fort Ord Dunes near Monterey, Point Mugu near Malibu; and Border Fields along the Mexican border.

Sounds Like Good News


The Feds have the Printing Presses. They can keep the parks open. Or Not. Who Cares ?

Pay for the parks with Entry Fees that will support their continued use without being subsidized from the General Fund. If you can afford it, fine. If not, go somewhere else.

IF the Feds take over they could sell braclets(or maybe an annual pass) to those identified as tourists...

Or finally put in the new point of entry that is needed there- bypassing TJ altogether and putting us directly onto the cuoto south.

New Checkpoint


Yeah, that's going to happen.

The trouble with all of that talk about improved crossing is that the Cost Benefit of a better non-commercial entry to the U.S. just isn't there.

Of course, favorable cost benefit has never been a requirement for spending tax dollars, so who knows ?
