Spanberger wasting more of our tax money!
Fantastic! Money well spent! I’m sure all the commies wish we could send it straight to the Donald and his group of grifters.
What’s a better example of a communist state than a country top heavy with government employees that don’t do anything productive!
What a stupid response. Don’t use the parks. Sit inside on your computer. It’s America, you have a choice!
I guarantee that I spend and have spent more time in the outdoors seeing God’s creations than any moron on here! Parks are a great way for city kids to see the world the way it used to be. And they certainly need employees to run them. I don’t agree with so many. Spanberger inherited a big surplus of funds from Youngkin instead of continuing the trend she has decided to give it away. She should Create more jobs the actually make people preductive. Not create another payment from the citizens of Virginia. We have way to many people with government jobs. When the country has more government employees than private businesses we lose our democracy. It then becomes a country run by the state. NOT BY THE PEOPLE!!
You can’t guarantee anything, but I can guarantee you have no clue on how many employees it takes to run Virginia’s park system.
BTY, clue.. it takes as many employees as the State budget can afford.
