Do Your Part to Help Save California State Parks from Governor Schwarzenegger
The California Preservation Foundation urges all of our members and constitutents to take action to Save California State Parks!
From the California State Parks Foundation :
Yesterday the Governor signed a revised Fiscal Year 2009-2010 state budget, based on the package of bills sent to him by the Legislature on July 24. In using his blue-pencil veto authority the Governor exacted an additional $6.2 million cut to the California State Parks system, bringing the total General Fund cut to $14.2 million. It is expected that this will result in the closure of more than 100 of California's 279 state parks, more than 1/3 of the state park system!
Take action now to help stop these closures!
California State Parks has not yet released a list of which parks will be included on this closure list or when exactly park closures will start taking place. We will provide you with updates as details are released.
The news of park closures is not only devastating to park users, but also to local economies. Please take a moment to send a message to your legislators urging them to take action to stop these closures. Our state parks need your support now more than ever before.
California's state parks are one of our greatest assets! An important economic engine for many small and/or rural communities. I don't know who "The People's Governor:" is, but he's not my Governor.
