Is Too Much Money Going to Green Space?

Legislators who are looking for sources of revenue might consider asking the voters for permission to reduce the amount of lottery funds being spent on the purchase of green space.  Those monies could then be redirected to the general fund.

Colorado leads the nation in the expenditure of money for green space.  In good times that may be a good thing.  In bad times it is a luxury that we can't afford. 

If it is bad to be in last place in a category among the states, it is equally bad to be in first place in a category that doesn't directly impact near term quality of life.
