As The Florida Independent is reporting - Governor Scott is telling his state's Department of Environmental Protection to draw up plans to sell off huge chunks of 56 Florida state parks to private corporations. The Scott administration wants to privatize camping in state parks. Isn't it our obligation to leave the commons that we've enjoyed in our lives intact so future generations can enjoy them as well?
