For example, the government of Minnesota, the budget deficit which amounts to 5.27 billion dollars, will sell International Airport Minneapolis-Saint Paul, obtained for a 2.5 billion, and the state lottery, for which the authorities hoped to get another half a billion.
New York Governor David Paterson (David Paterson) in turn has ordered to create a special commission to examine the possibility of renting such facilities as Teppan-Zee Bridge north of New York, golf courses, beaches and toll roads.
Experts believe that such objects of public property are attractive to private investors, as they are highly "material", that is not actually exposed to a recession.
