IL State Parks in Need of Maintenance

Illinois' State Parks need more than a half a billion dollars in deferred maintenance.  Lawmakers concluded the spring legislative session without agreeing on a means to help the Department of Natural Resources address the needs of the park system.  WSIU's Eileen Waldron takes a closer look at Giant City State Park in southern Illinois that is in serious trouble. 

Eileen Waldron is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Radio-Television at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
