These recreational parks <br /> are very beneficial to the cities in which these parks are. For example, <br /> last year Eddie Bauer sponsored a rodeo series at the Golden Play <br /> Park, brought in a lot of money and it brought in a lot of people.

My name is Tim Gagin. I'm the town <br /> manager for Breckenridge. And my mayor and town council have <br /> asked me to come and express our opposition to this bill.
