    The letter is a response from Carol Ash, Acting Commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, to Senator John Flanagan regarding issues raised at a Senate Tourism Committee meeting. Ash assures Flanagan that she has carefully reviewed his letters about the transfer of 368 acres in Kings Park from the Office of Mental Health to State Parks. Ash and the administration are reviewing the parks, environmental, economic, and fiscal implications of the land transfer and will continue consulting with Flanagan. One letter specifically noted concerns about the stability of a smokestack at a closed power plant on the property; engineering staff inspected it and found it to be stable.
