County give parks to state?
After lengthy and passionate debate, a Luzerne County Council majority voted to transfer ownership of three county-owned recreational properties to the state.
The transfer covers Moon Lake Park in Plymouth Township, the Seven Tubs Nature Area in Plains Township and a 400-acre, county-owned parcel adjacent to Moon Lake that would link two sections of state forest property.
Councilman Harry Haas said the decision was personally “agonizing,” but he concluded the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will do a better job managing the county sites for recreation.
Haas said he spends time at both parks and has observed theft and destruction at Moon Lake and vandalism, litter and “shady characters” at the Tubs.
The county isn’t “giving away” the property because it must remain recreational under state ownership, he said.

It has become very common these days that if a town city county can not afford to full fill its function that they pass it off onto another entity.
It looks like they are giving away a 10 million dollar property that they owe somewhere around 4 million on. Will the state also be taking over the debt on this property?troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Break the rules and you get no bones,

and a trip to the house of pain.
