If you would like to help stop this please write to your legislators. Go here, all you need to do is copy, paste, print, and send it with the mail man tomorrow. :slight_smile:

I was wondering. I saw a FB thing about Thatcher Park, but I figured it was BS like most things on there.

4

its all goodā€¦they close it down ill just get around the gates and use the place for offroad shenanigans! :evilking

5

^^^ tā€™would be hella fun

6

that is why u canā€™t have physically blind people govern the state / country

7

What exactly would happen if its ā€œclosed?ā€ Just no more upkeep by the state, or no going there period? Or sell the land?

8

rediculous, too many people are using the ā€œrecessionā€ as reasons to cut cost.

9

+rep, this makes perfect sense. I was like OH, we can make him see how beautiful the parks areā€¦wait no heā€™s blind

10

i think the idea behind closes thatcher is the main part, where the pool and buildings are.

if they lock everything up where you cant get to itā€¦ thats just stupid.

However i can see them completly blocking off the indain ladder trail for insurance reasons thats about itā€¦

Get some tree huggin hippies to patrol the parkā€¦ or smokey the bear for that matter.

11

WOAH! we may actually be able to use them for something advantageous for once!

12

yes. they dont work for anything but love for the earth.

13

Can we push that blind retard off the cliff at Thatcherā€™s?

14

Need to stop hiring so many state workers instead

15

You mean you dont need 15 guys to fill a pot hole?

16

:rofl :rofl exactlyā€¦he doesnt know what hes taking away

Yeaā€¦use them for something productive besides target practice.

Its all good, Use the tree huggers to patrol. I still have plenty more things sight in the 30-6 down in schenectady:thumbup

17

ā€œPark Policeā€ getting paid 53k a year is one contributing problemā€¦

18

F U!! Itā€™s the bloodsucking contractors that cost so damn much!!!

AND STOP GIVING MONEY TO ******* AND CRACKERS THAT DONT FUCKING WORK! THANK YOU!
