The parks I would expect are just the first salvo. You guys are way way way in the red and something has to give.

There is one quick way for the state to get out of debt.

Legalize marijuana.

The state could impose a tax, perhaps as much as 100%, with most of the revenue going to pay off the debt.

The way it is now, it's possible to visit a doctor and get a medical marijuna card. Anyone who wants marijuana can get it if they want, legally.

This would allow the state to make some money with it.
