Sorry, but budget-wise, the state is in a world of hurt. Of where the funding can be cut, I would say this is one of the less painful places to do so.

Well, how about raising prices for entry on some parks. A carload into Yosemite for $20 was a huge bargain.

I love Big Basin, that was my first State Park growing up.

$70 million will do nothing to help the budget shortfall. In fact, closing these parks will eliminate an estimated $164.5 million in taxes that they generate through tourism! A stupid, shortsighted, meanspirited move.

Why would that be qualified as meanspirited? Maybe short sighted and stupid (I certainly don't claim to know), but I don't get the mean spirited part.

So - instead of looking to where they are wasting money - they look to take away something that actually makes money.

If they would legalize some things - it could generate some money. You know - like medical marijuana... gay marriage... but no. They would rather be stupid.

Are they just going to close the areas and not let anyone enter them? Or what? Isn't there some provision about state parks being available to the public as part of public land use when the land was appropriated?

That's how we got the Governator to begin with.

Wouldn't it be ironic if he went out the same way he came in?

But who could replace him? Who could fix this horrible mess?

Well, I want Newsom but not through a recall election.

When is the next Governator election?
