First, these are some gorgeous parks, and it's a shame that they are in danger of closing.

Second, if you DO talk to your representatives, or make a fuss, PLEASE emphasis you are willing to pay more via fees to keep the parks open. The problem is that there is no money! Everyone screams and moans, but nobody offers revenue ideas!

Third, don't get too mad at Arnold over this. He's gone to Sac to 'cut the fat', he's tried, and guess what, the Legislature won't cooperate. Read more about it and what exactly the Legislature is doing and wasting their time on. Honestly.

Fourth - this IS just a temporary closure - or may not even happen. I for one am somewhat fascinated by what some of these parks would look like with no human use for a few years. I'd really like to USE them though, on the other hand <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
