State Park Closures
Dear Senator Cogdill,
Columbia State Historic Park is not only a Historic Park, it's also the living center of Columbia, the community to which I proudly belong. If that park were to close, the state would be paying unemployment for possibly hundreds of people in our town, devastate the economy of the town, and lower the standard of living for everyone in the area. It's ridiculous to think that the state can save money by ruining local economies and discouraging tourism overall. This is not a line-item. It's people's livelihoods, and it's our states cultural identity.
Sincerely,
Richard Call
