Victory for now but more is needed to protect our state parks

We did it! Thousands of you sent in emails to the governor and it worked. The governor changed his mind, and the parks are safe for this year. But long-term funding solutions are necessary.

Assemblymember Laird (Santa Cruz) has introduced legislation that would add $10 to the vehicle license fee. In exchange all cars with California license plates would get into state parks for the day for free.

This funding plan is a great deal. It creates a one time fee, but it gives Californian's unlimited day use to the state parks!

Email the governor and ask him to support this plan. Then email your friends and ask them to do the same thing. We won once on this issue and we have a chance to win again and provide permanent protection to the 278 state parks.

What was he thinking? To tell you the truth, I don't know. Thousands of us called and emailed the governor -- and he changed his mind. Now we need permanent funding for the parks. Assemblymember Laird (Santa Cruz) has introduced legislation that would add $10 to the vehicle license fee and in exchange all cars with California license plates would get into state parks for the day for free. This funding plan is a good one. It creates a one-time fee but it gives Californians unlimited day use to the state parks! Email the governor and ask him to support this plan.
