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.

Maybe he'll have to learn the hard way, like Bush did early on in his administration. He tried push through legislation that would open up thousands of acres of protected land to commercial logging and development. Republican voters raised the biggest outcry!
