So out of
this article on the closures, I found this rather interesting tidbit:
Quote:

Laird wrote a proposal to increase vehicle registration fees by $10 a year, which would have raised $260 million for state parks. All California residents would have been given free entry. Montana has a similar plan already in place. The idea passed the Assembly, but died when then-Senate President Don Perata killed it in an attempt to find compromise with Republican leaders on wider budget issues.

What do you think of that idea? Given that park entry costs more than $10, I'd totally be up for this. Provided those funds were guaranteed to go to the parks.
