I wonder what could possibly be the reasoning behind this? The economics don't make sense. What else could it be???.... madness?

Hi all,
Perhaps you have heard about this already, but Governor Schwarzenegger has proposed a closure of 80% of California's state parks. This comes up for a vote tomorrow, June 2.
This is madness because the parks bring in $2.35 in community revenues for every dollar that is spent on them, so it is a losing measure financially as well as environmentally. I know some of us here are local to California. This affects 220 of our state parks.
So if you're a Californian and haven't yet signed the petition, please check out www.calparks.org and sign the petition/letter to our government officials.
Thanks for the work that you do,
Kerry
