Outside of raising taxes and spendng last year, the worst thing New York state did was close Fort Ontario to save pennies. There are very few things that state government "gives" us that are actually worth it and Fort Ontario and the other state parks are certainly worth it. They must have had to pay equal what they saved not mowing the lawn for a month in moving all the valuable stuff out of their and chaining off the entrance back in April. And how much can it possibly cost to keep that place open, there's no heat, no electric, you just need to pay a groundsman part-time to keep the facility looking alright but I'm sure it being New York they have a crew of 20 CSEA members sitting around all day playing cards and driving around in State vehicles all day on my dime just like they do at the college. Here's a better idea fire all of the union members and hire a contractor to mow the lawn! don't close the park, it's public land and the public has a right to it, do they have any idea how many men died for their country there? - of course not! And do you know why they died for their country? so that we could have the ability to live free! It's such a contradiction - take away my freedom to appreciate what America's bravest did to protect it!
If I haven't been clear enough that means my goal for Senator Patty Ritchie is:
do not close parks so that you don't have to cut real spending. I expect her to protect our history and freedom, and she has the support of Taxpayers on this - all she has to do is ask us for support and she's got it. I know she's smart enough not to let this happen again, there's a lot of history where she's from and she understands what happened at places like the Fort.
