California State Parks is planning to increase the price of annual park passes by $70. That's because we are in a financial crisis. "We always do this when short of money," a spokesman explained. "When people begin to feel the pinch of hard times, we close our financial gaps by taking things away from those who are worst off. We raise prices while scaling back services. That is our business model."
State Parks expects to sell about 25% less passes at the new price. The difference will be made up by the fact that park visitors will be whiter, richer and more handsome than usual by conventional standards. The percentage of visitors with blue eyes is expected to double under the new system.
