The country sold at a wholesale price a few years ago to a New York guy. He's been trying to resale it for over three years now. The highest bidder, so far, is a Russian guy named Putin. A US political party has been raising money but just can't seem to raise enough, and are really just too stupid to run it anyway. Another NY guy is now in the bidding process but he just might run out of cash before he can match this Putin guy's bids. You know, maybe someone should start a Go-Fund-Me and see if the people who live here, and are going to be adversely affected by the sale to either the Russian guy, the inept political party, or the two New York guys, are able to buy and keep the place?
Pretty sure the current New York guy and his enablers want to turn those parks into wasteland.... Timber, Oil and Gas, Uranium, etc....
