- 41:52the
- 41:52state
- 41:52that
- 41:53they're
- 41:53in
- 41:53and
- 41:53the
- 41:53rules
- 41:54they're
- 41:54operating
- 41:54under
- 41:55some
- 41:55state
- 41:56parks
- 41:56are
- 41:56funded
- 41:56by
- 41:56the
- 41:57general
- 41:57funds.
- 41:57Some
- 41:57are
- 41:58self-funding
- 41:59some
- 41:59they

- 42:00Easily,
- 42:01some
- 42:01cannot,
- 42:02it
- 42:02varies
- 42:03across

- 42:03But
- 42:04the
- 42:04key
- 42:05point
- 42:05being
- 42:05is
- 42:05the
- 42:05public
- 42:06parks
- 42:06are
- 42:06cheaper
- 42:06option
- 42:07than
- 42:07private
- 42:07parks
- 42:08that
- 42:08they
