Corbett Privatizing PA

Pennsylvania spreading privatization? Gov. Corbett suggested this week that Pennsylvania's 117 state parks might be ripe for privatizing.
When the governor was asked what besides the Liquor Control Board, might benefit from private-sector control. He replied: "Prison health care and running state parks."
Corbett cited the lack of lifeguards at beaches and park pools saying, "If we privatize that, can we save a little money and have the lifeguards back?"

The idea didn't sit well with the Sierra Club of Pennsylvania. "Certain aspects of the parks might lend themselves to private control, but operations of the state parks?" said Jeff Schmidt, the club's state executive director. "We'd want to know more about it, but it doesn't sound good."
