70 State Parks Slated to Close in California
The What:
Govenor Jerry Brown announced today the closing of 70 State parks in California.
Voters had a chance to save the parks back in November when proposition 21 was on the state ballot.
It would have imposed an $18 vehicle registration fee to provide a windfall of cash for ailing parks. The measure would have provided for $500 million a year as a new permanent funding source for parks, protected from the year-to-year roller coaster of the state's general fund.
But voters gave the measure a strong thumbs-down.
It failed 58 to 42 percent, winning in only 10 of California's 58 counties, nearly all of them in the Bay Area.
The Where:
So what parks will be closing?
The When:
Expect the closures to begin in September, with all 70 closings completed by July 2012.
