sell it to the state for one dollar...period

[Timber Rattler]

Cowards like this at the state and local levels are why the federal government gets away with this nonsense.

Obama is insane

Anyone local Freepers down there? Looks like a good day to visit the park.

We don't want to get into a fight with the federal government at this time

There may never be a better time...

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's refuge manager at Laguna Atascosa, said he shuttered the park "following national policy."

Have they evicted the Fish and the Wildlife too?

[justa-hairyape]

Shutting down a park on the Texas border ? Hmmmmmmm. Wonder what will be coming through there.

[clintonh8r]

County Commissioner Garza contacted Cornyn. Why didn’t he contact Cruz, too??

[abigkahuna]

Pull a “People’s Park”. It’s fun, full of eye candy for the T.V. cameras, and everyone gets to dress up and act foolish, all while taking the park back!

The Cameron County Adolph Thomae Jr. County Park operates within the confines of the
Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. Thus the Feds have control of the access roads, etc.

Stop and search any federal government employee traveling on the state highways around the park. I’m sure the local law enforcement can find probable cause. They have no right to be there.

Thanks for posting.

Seems like the only thing the Federal government does that could possibly elicit any sympathy is running parks, which is why they are doing their utmost to close them all down.

They aren’t shutting down other things (like Obama vactions and extravagant White House celebrity parties) because those things wouldn’t be missed.

This is a popular fishing spot and boat launch on the Arroyo. One road in and out. A sleepy fishing community of only a few hundred residents. No local police.

It cost more to shut it down than to keep it open. Actually, it cost the feds nothing to keep it open, but the feds lose lease income by shutting it down.

County workers were not allowed to enter the park to do scheduled repair work on the boat ramps.

[tillacum]

I think Mr. Mr. Garcia should grow a pair. If it’s not
federal, why not keep it open.

[Arrowhead1952]

Lake Granger parks have been shut as well. I haven’t heard about any Corp of Engineer lakes being shut - yet.

I’m looking for public land closed in the Dallas/Fort Worth area so I can practice some uncivil disobedience.
