Former state auditor Kit Bond criticized the Park Board for charging a $1 entrance fee and a $10 annual permit, arguing the move lacks legal authority. He cited an attorney general opinion from 1970 and a broader audit finding that included $1.3 million spent without legislative approval, improper insurance, and other improprieties within the board.
