All discussions of "Government Money" should begin with the realization that gov't produces nothing. It has no money that it did not take from a working taxpayer. I often think that replacing "Federal' or "State" money with the phrase "my neighbor's money" would make folks think differently. Should we levy another tax on the people of FL to offset local revenue lost by not taxing Yellowstone? Budgets from counties, states and DC are already somewhat comingled so, on some level, we already do. Also, most of the benefits of the land are already enjoyed by local folks. I vote no.
