Could California's Budget Crisis Close Oceano Dunes SVRA?

Because the state of California is in "crisis," forced to bridge a $24.3 billion budget shortfall that may in fact be a $27 billion shortfall, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed a long list of spending cuts. Among the proposals is closing State Parks and Oceano Dunes SVRA is a State Park.
Closing State Parks would only save California's general fund about $150 million at a time when it's facing a $24 billion crisis.
Although closing state parks would be extremely unpopular, it would make the environmentalist jump for joy if Oceano Dunes was closed to OHVs.

A few news articles:

• Closures would all but eliminate state parks in north state-Redding.com
• Proposed state parks closure list is not for the faint of heart - LA Times

If you enjoy riding OHVs at Oceano Dunes SVRA, take the time to let the Governor and Legislators know that Oceano Dunes should not be on the list of potential closure sites.
