Your Call 031108 California Budget Cuts and the Future of our Parks

What can we do to keep our parks open? On the next Your Call, we'll have a discussion about Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed plan to close 48 state parks, including Candlestick Point and Armstrong Woods. Under the plan, the parks would be off-limits until the state's financial situation improves. Since the announcement, dozens of organizations from around the state have launched the "Save Our Parks" campaigns. Do the closures make fiscal sense? Are you willing to pay a fee to keep the parks open? If not, what's the alternative? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Joseph H. Engbeck, an environmental historian and on the board of directors of Regional Park Association.

Elizabeth Goldstein, president of The California State Parks Foundation. CSP along with dozens of organizations from around the state have launched the "Save Our Parks" campaigns.
