[RC] CA State Parks - Advantage Saddles

<It is unfortunately a time-honored political tactic, when the voters
resist tax increases, to shut down the services that people value the
most, first.  So that the politicians can come back and get their tax
increases.>

Yes, of course that is exactly what it is. I tried to look online to see exactly where the proposed budget was going, but they are pretty vague about it.
I heard there is a good sized chunk set aside for seals. Good for them, but I think they could give up their share in order to keep our parks open. The seals seem to be doing just fine...they have their own private beach in La Jolla for goodness sake! Used to be the Childrens's Beach until the seals took it. Before this the scare tactic was taking away our firefighters and police... and letting felons out before their time was up. There are many many ways to cut costs, but they are not giving us choices.
I think they should hand out a checklist of where the tax dollars go and allow us to choose where we want our money spent. State and federal. That would put things right!
