Just hours ago, the California State Senate vote on the proposed State Park Access Pass failed. With 22 in favor (all Democrats) 14 opposed (all Republicans + 1 Democrat) and 4 abstentions, it did not receive the 2/3 vote required. Although this is a big disappointment, it does not change our course of action – we all need to continue fighting to urge the Legislature to keep state parks open, even if that requires a funding source that isn’t the State Park Access Pass.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please help us keep the pressure on by sending a letter to five key legislators.Follow this link to send a letter to the "Big 5":
Governor Schwarzenegger
Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg
Senate Republican Leader Dennis Hollingsworth
Speaker of the Assembly Karen Bass
Assembly Republican Leader Sam Blakeslee
Encourage them to find creative funding solutions to keep all of our treasured state parks open!
Thank you for your support!
