You were on glen beck? That guy is a loon. If i was serious about my business, i would stay well clear of crackpots like beck and FAUXNEWS. By any chance, did he begin to whimper while you were there?

Lets say I want to monitor what is going on in the parks that you manage… would I be constrained by the ability of private corporations to block access to records. If privatization occurs…wont records become private, rather than public, and thus closed to public review. How do public watch-dog groups get around that?

And while you’re at it, go fix the food service on Blue Ridge Parkway – get the current oversized corporate vendor out of there and get some good food. (counter example to how private management can suck)

Yes, lets privatize parks. Also, lets privatize the rest of state govt, including and especially the legislature.

I just saw you (Mr. Warren Meyer) on the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News. I want to congratulate you on your endeavor. As [the 1900's era progressive] former President Teddy Roosevelt would have said: “BULLY, BULLY FOR YOU!”. Seeing a need, recognizing it, and doing something about it. You are a True American. I am in the Inter-Net Travel Business [I sell Inter-Net Travel Web-Sites to HomeBased Entrepreneur's] and I would like to try and help you be a success with this. If this comment gets posted, I want to also encourage other business’s to take a look and try to do something that would help you create jobs. I would like to, for starters, contibute a portion of my revenue (commissions) to your cause, when a person books from my Web-Site (a vacation of 7 days or more) and contacts me telling me they wish to help your cause. I Thank You Again. You Are A True American Inspiration, and Thank You Glenn Beck and Fox News.

My husband has sold campground memberships for years. I would like to know what you are going to do with the information you get from the people that stay at the state parks (addresses, phone numbers) and if you are going to use the info gathered as leads to contact them and try and get them to join your membership parks.
Thanks

I hope you can proceed in Arizona. Our parks in California are in the same position as those in Arizona. If you could break thru the ice here
and get just a toehold, I would hope that you could be successful here.

I get the basic business model — more efficient, lower overhead because of the employment pool the business hires from, etc. But I was suggesting that should really be explicit in the proposal.
