Funding our State Parks

Debate is brewing around New Hampshire about the state's self-funded park system and whether or not that should change. The largest example being raised- a proposed expansion at the Mount Sunapee ski area. Laura's guests are Bob Odell, Republican Senator from Lempster who is the Senate Majority Whip and Chairman of the Energy and Economic Development Committee. He has sponsored a bill to study the state park funding system and its merits. Also in studio will be Charles Royce, former House Representative who chaired the Resource, Recreation, and Development Committee and also chaired the joint legislative committee that leased Mt. Sunapee. Royce was also a former manager of Monadnock State Park.
