Cal State Parks Still in Way of Govenor’s Cut
Posted by Family RV in Cal State Parks, California camping on September 11, 2009
Cal state parks are still at risk, but there is some good news.
Senate Bill 679 passed the Ca State legislature and waits for the Gov. to sign. It requires that no land acquired for the state park system may be used for non-park uses without the express authority of an act of the Legislature and without a plan to replace those park lands with lands of equal environmental and fair market value.
Let’s hope the state gets creative and works with private business to keep the parks open.
But senate bill 679 insures the state won’t lose State park land.
