Governor Schwarzenegger Terminating California State Parks
For the second time in as many years, Governor Schwarzenegger has threatened to close California State Parks to achieve an annual savings
of $150 million.
That sounds like a lot of money, but consider that Wells Fargo, a California bank, received 25 billion taxpayer dollars to rescue it from
bad business practices. $25 billion would fund California State Parks for over a hundred and fifty years at the current level of $150 million annually.
Factor in inflation, round off, and call it a century.
The people of California dodged the first bullet, but even if we dodge the second, we must find a way to protect our parks from our politicians.
Please visit the California State Parks Foundation website to learn how you can help and
contact Governor Schwarzenegger to express your concerns and solutions.
