Subject: State Park Access Pass Failed

 

Good afternoon,

 

Just a quick note to let you know that, moments ago, the State Senate did try 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 we discussed on our call yesterday and via email yesterday.  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. 

 

Traci
