Is closing state parks a retaliatory move for defeat of propositions?
Dear Editor, Regarding the state budget dilemma: Closing the State Parks would have a negative effect upon the budget deficit while having a most profound effect upon the citizens. Much of the work in the state parks is done by volunteers and docents (no cost to the state). People who visit state parks spend money in and around the parks, in addition to the admission fees to the parks themselves.
