Under proposed budget cuts Governor Paterson wants to close 41 NY State Parks. Local parks Keewaydin and Mary Island are on the list.



Obviously this would be a really terrible thing to happen..

Folks have different theories on all of this.. some say it's a ploy to make local politicians look like heroes when it doesn't go through, some say that's not the case and Patterrson is just a moron.. Lets hear what you have to say.. Leave comments below..
