Negotiations are still underway at the State Capital to pass a budget
and plans
still call for taking the Heritage Fund.
We are looking at a sweep of about 70 to 80% of the Heritage Fund. The
proposed budget
calls for taking $10 million for the General Fund. On top of that ---
there is a plan to take
the rest of the State Parks Heritage Fund money and use if for
operations and maintenance.
This is planned because the State Parks budget has been slashed so
dramatically, this will
mean that basically ALL of State Parks Heritage Fund money has been
diverted
from the projects that were intended when the law passed.
The Heritage Fund Statute states that, "In no event shall any monies in the
fund revert to the state general fund ....."
What can YOU do!
Call ! ! ! There is a Call-In-Day planned for Tuesday ! ! !
On Tuesday, June 2nd
we are asking that everyone
even if you have called before -- call again
call their Senators, Representatives and the Governor.
Even though the Governor has seemed supportive it is essential that
she too hear that this Fund must be protected.
Local, State and Regional Parks, Historic Preservation, Environmental
Education, Habitat, Wildlife programs, and Trails and more are
endangered by this raid.
Please CALL on Tuesday!
