The best thing the US government ever did was create the national park system.

The State and Town of Alton had the same opportunity to buy this property as everyone else did. It was sold on the free market, and purchased by someone who could afford it, fair and square. As much as it’s the politically correct “flavor of the day” to think otherwise, working hard, earning money and becoming wealthy is still not a crime. Thank God for capitalism! There are still plenty of state parks and other public access points for everyone to enjoy.

Indeed.

A corollary to "Live free or die" has to be "let the laws of supply and demand operate without undo interference."

Is this a great country, or what?

I believe that the Town of Alton could of purchased the camp for a dollar but decided against it for some reason.

Oh and when was that? Was there a rejected warrant article? Some factual information would be appreciated.

My guess is that they didn't want to take a valuable tax producing property off of the tax roles....
