JUNE 29, 2009

On June 26, the State Senate tried to take the State Park Access Pass up for a vote.  It failed, because it did not receive the 2/3 vote required.   The vote was 22 in favor (all Democrats) 14 opposed (all Republicans + 1 Democrat) and 4 abstentions. 

Although it’s a big disappointment, this outcome was not unexpected, as the Legislature continues to stalemate on all state budget issues.  This doesn’t 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.  

Please help us keep the pressure on the state's "Big 5" to enact a budget that keeps our state parks open by sending a message today.
