Selling a Missouri state park could cost tax payers money

Budget officials say the Missouri House’s plan to sell a new state park could cost the state thousands of tax dollars in appraisal, auction and legal fees.

The Committee on Legislative Research Oversight Division also found that proceeds from selling Eleven Point State Park in Oregon County would likely not go to the state’s general coffers.

The officials say the money would need to be returned to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and two federal agencies.
