It was about 8 or 9 years ago that a portion of Tennessee's State Parks were closed or were open only on the weekends.

Nancy – that is an excellent point that is often lost in the debate. There are numerous small businesses around our parks that rely on the stream of visitors drawn there.

John – that’s a great organization and they also have a page on Facebook.

Roy, this is an important issue and I’m glad you’re covering it.

People interested in helping California State Parks, which are under major threat of closure by the governor, should visit the California State Parks Foundation at http://www.calparks.org/
