This is corruption in plain sight. All this does is close a park and let it fall into disrepair only to need huge costs later to reopen and repair.Seems kinda weird that one of the smallest, most densely populated states in the country can't find/hire rangers, doesn't it?
But the states management of the parks since the start of this pandemic has been baffling. They closed boat ramps that never had attendants, only to assign state park police to guard and enforce closure during furloughs?? Now closing a park and redirecting people to parks that habe a toxic algae bloom and another one that hits capacity by 11am? Shouldn’t they work to redirect people to “underutilized” parks.I am not supporting the state here, but everything at the state moves at a snails pace. Not to mention everything is tied to a budget. Hence, it is not possible to just hire park staff on a whim. If it was private industry, hiring would have happened already.
It is unlikely someone was paid to close the parks and then hire someone to clean them up and reopen it.
I guess, but they are likely redirecting to the closest park. I’m not saying their isn’t mismanagement, there is, but hiring rangers won’t fix that (because of said mismanagement).But the states management of the parks since the start of this pandemic has been baffling.
