I find it disgusting and pathetic to privatize a park that has been paid for by tax dollars. This cannot happen.

SAVE the parks for the people!!! This is a crazy waste of money when it could be rehabilitated as stands . Also, the increase in tax burden to the citizens is not necessary. Retired people and young families on a budget will not be able to afford a double in price to stay in the park. It makes the park unaffordable to many Tennesseans who tax dollars have already paid for it once!

Public property for the public. Not for private profit!

Why would you even consider tearing the center down and the hotel and replacing it with half the rooms and charging twice the price to stay there and then letting someone else take the place over while letting the people that have dedicated their lives to working there lose their jobs or if rehired by the private company work for half the pay and no benefits. More Tennesseans stay at this park and you want them to pay twice the amount to stay under a private contract. This park belongs to us, Tennesseans not Haslam and his bunch.

Please don't privatize our pristine parks and their current facilities! These belong and are supported by the residents of TN and should be be a point of profit for private vendors/entities!

Stop selling off public resources. The economic recession is bad enough. Privatization steals money from taxpayers' pockets and puts them directly into some out-of-state CEO's offshore bank account.

In the midst of the obesity and diabetes epidemic in TN, we need MORE places accessible for people to get out and walk, hike, play tennis, basket ball or golf.

Just because politicians are for sale to the highest bidder, doesn't mean everything else should be too.

Privatization brings about poor services. Our park rangers are specially trained and we need them! Please don't ruin Tennessee's State Parks!

My wife and I just visited the park. The Inn is a little dated but otherwise is a wonderful place. I think the State would be money ahead refurbishing the Inn rather than demolishing it and denying the citizens of TN the use of the Inn for 2 years only to see it cost more when the private company took over.

I stayed at Fall Creek Falls this past summer and had a wonderful experience. I would hate to see future generations miss out on the opportunity to experience the park.
