Kat Stone and John Hunter talk about Douglas County Park politics, including the value of the parks, the Parks Master Plan, and the loss of parks like Busenbark. Also discussed are the gun issues in the county, Bolon Island (near Reedsport), and the county’s proposal to circumvent land-use laws by allowing property to be chopped into smaller pieces. Other county parks discussed are Discovery Point in Winchester Bay, and Mildred Kanipe Park near Oakland.
