This is really going to F'k Up someone's Holiday Plans... :beat  :drama

I thought you all would like to know that the Windsor Beach park and launch facilities will remain open under the control of Lake Havasu City as other state parks likely close tomorrow. This of course is because our state legislature and our Governor cannot seem to agree on a state budget and the end of the fiscal year is midnight tonight.

Because Windsor Beach State Park is critical to boating in Lake Havasu City, we have worked out an agreement with the state that will allow the park to remain open under the city's control and using volunteers from the LHC Marine Association and city personnel.

The good news is that during the period when the city is operating the park, there will be NO FEES charged at the gate. Al we ask is that everyone understand the situation and exercise patience at the ramp and in the parking lot.

Charlie Cassens

Also closing:  Cat-Tail Cove and Buckskin in Parker... :(

Seems that our fine folks running the state can't seem to get their crap together to come up with a budget. So our parks are one of the branches that are getting hit in fear of not having the funds to operate. Would be nice to see the lazy a$$'s take a pay cut  since they don't do anything constructive any way. But screw things up. Won't be long we will be like Cal and get taxed for using the air.

Well if they close them you need to just go and cut the locks on the gate's and say it is open now. we don't need them.

Now that makes a tremendous amount of sense. Close a launch ramp that generates fees?

Then let the city run it and NOT collect fees?

Class?

Does anyone NOT understand why California is losing money??  :stupid  :beat

It's a fact of Life:

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

There was stuff on the news about Rangers telling all the campers to pack up and get out because the Parks were closing due to the State of AZ shutting down because of no approved budget. But Last night / this morning around 3am they approved it. So things should be cool except for all the people that got chased off State land :say?  :pissed  :finger

Very astute observation WD.

Still think we need to clean out deathrow. We'd not only get rid of undesirable "citizens"; we might save some money and we'd definitely make room for the next set of "undesirables", beginning w/Schwarzenegger and his merry men and women (CA Senate). Not only are they crooks; they're ignorant crooks. :angry
