Editor's Note: Here are some questions you may consider
asking yourself and others. Should the state provide
recreational activity property? Is recreation a necessary service?
Does the state need more public land to compete with
recreational opportunities (many of which are already)
provided by private forestland owners? Will more public
land that doesn't pay taxes put pressure on private
landowners to (eventually) pay more in taxes? Will higher taxes
promote more or less forestland ownership? Is private
forestland ownership or public forestland better for our
state?
