Over 45 California state parks in danger of closing
Gov. Schwarzenegger's latest budget proposal would shut down 20 percent of the state's parks, as well as cut down on lifeguards at state beaches.
Of course, we all know California needs to balance the budget. But we're talking about a step that would save $9 million - less than 0.1 percent of the state budget. Meanwhile, the costs to our environment, our quality of life, and our confidence in state government would be incalculable.
