You just jogged an "FLL-type thought" I'd had for other government budget woes.

Why not have developers buy Ellacoya State Park (which too-frequently closes the waters there anyway) and use part of the funds to eliminate the budget shortfall? Excess proceeds could add camping sites elsewhere, open new State parks distant from Lake Winnipesaukee and improve other State Parks in the state.

The Federal Government could sell Yellowstone National Park as well—maybe for trillions, when it's all done! (Yellowstone's sitting on a volcano anyway).
