It’s a crowded ballot, but we strongly support Prop 21, the state parks initiative. We hope you will, too.
Underfunding our state parks over the last few decades has created a perpetual crisis. Remember the proposal that started this campaign - to close many state parks, including Topanga State Park? Now there’s a sensible way out of this crisis, but it needs your help - your vote yes on Prop 21.
Don’t let the budget gridlock in Sacramento destroy our state park system. We’re lucky that visionary Californians came before us to preserve places like Topanga State Park, Big Sur, Anza-Borrego, Humboldt Redwoods and much of the California coast. It's our responsibility to maintain this legacy - and Prop 21 will do it.
This strongly crafted initiative puts a small new fee into a fund for state park maintenance that the legislature can't touch. All the money will go to parks!
Some people wish other needs were being met, like healthcare or education. We're sympathetic, but we're not willing to see our beautiful state parks fall apart while politics keep the legislature from setting sensible priorities. We've waited 20 years for the legislature to take proper care of our state parks. Now they're under-staffed and under-maintained. If they're not kept in decent safe condition, if they're not kept open, they'll loose public support. If we wait another 20 years, we could loose places like Topanga State Park.
Please vote for the future of our existing parks, vote YES for Prop 21.
