Finding out a favorite State Park (Mackinaw River Fish and WIldlife Area) isn't getting maintained anymore.
State squanders tons of money on crap and lets more than 2,000 acres of beautiful parkland go down the tubes.
Maybe if our Governor and the legislators in Springfield put less in their pockets we could keep the state's natural treasures looking beautiful.
I kept thinking most of the spring that I must be missing the days when the ranger does maintenance but it's become apparent ... there's been no maintenance all this spring and summer. Talked to a local and they indicated the state has dropped the day long staffing of the park. Trails have become overgrown, parking areas becoming weed covered, and, the ranger staffing the park now only shows up once a week to make sure it's still there or something.  .
