    FEDS Plan Huge CAMPground in Brooklyn

    As part of O'Commie's America's Great Outdoors Campaign:



    Roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories and sleeping under the stars - in New York City?

    The National Park Service is planning a 600-site campground in Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field, a onetime airport used by Amelia Earhart. The campground would be the largest urban tent-pitching site in the nation, according to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.

    "We want to make New York the leading example of what we can do around the country with urban parks," Salazar said.

    The location now has just five campsites, but that number will expand to 90 over the next two years and to 600 eventually, he said.

    The plan is one of several initiatives aimed at improving access to the outdoors in the New York region under President Obama's America's Great Outdoors campaign.

    For now, campsites at the field are no-frills. Each has a cooking ring and picnic table and pit toilets are located a few hundred feet away.

    Park ranger John Daskalakis told the Daily News there has been growing interest in city camping as people look for cheap vacation alternatives.

    "Almost every weekend in May is booked up," Daskalakis said. "We've been fairly busy for a little-known gem in Brooklyn."
    Yea, as the Great Depression 2.0 continues to settle in, I guess this will make a good homeless shelter, or maybe something worse...gotta love the investigative journalism of NBC.

          You don't have to read my posts...I despise him. Command and control can take the form of crony capitalism as well and the effort to redistribute funds, whether it's to the poor or to the corporate "fat cats" (his words) who helped to get him elected, is a form of Marxism.

              Another example of command and control being erected around small business/private industry in the name of environmentalism (green is the new red), this time in the realm of the fishing industry:



              After executing a strategic campaign to have America's wild fish stocks essentially privatized under catch shares, the Environmental Defense Fund president's decision to reject a Senate subcommittee invitation to discuss the topic at a hearing in Boston next Monday has infuriated the mayors of New England's leading fishing ports.

              Mayor Scott Lang of New Bedford, backed by Mayor Carolyn Kirk of Gloucester, urged the U.S. Senate Tuesday to subpoena EDF President Fred Krupp to compel him to testify under oath about the influence of his organization on federal fisheries policy.

              "It's time to bring the people in under subpoena to get the facts on what was done behind the curtain," Lang said in a telephone interview.

              "I concur with Mayor Lang on taking the step to subpoena (Krupp)," Kirk added in an email to the Times. "We need full transparency as to the depth and breadth of EDF's influence on national policy."
