LIVE: STATE PARKS ADVOCATES ARE RALLYING AGAINST PROPOSED 10 PERCENT BUDGET CUTS PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR. THOSE CUTS COULD MEAN THE CLOSURE OF 48 PARKS AND REDUCED LIFE GUARD SHIFTS AT 16 OF THE STATE'S MOST POPULAR BEACHES.
SUPER: TODAY/STATE CAPITOL/SACRAMENTO
VO: (:25) PARKS ENTHUSIASTS DEMONSTRATED OUTSIDE THE STATE CAPITOL AT NOON. SOME BROUGHT SURF BOARDS, BIKES AND OTHER CAMPING GEAR. A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF LAWMAKERS ALSO SPOKE AGAINST THE TEN PERCENT ACROSS THE BOARD CUTS TO EACH STATE DEPARTMENT IN THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY VERSION OF THE BUDGET.
SUPER: SENATOR ABEL MALDONADO/R-SANTA MARIA
SOT: (:13)
SAYS: "WHY CAN'T WE PUT EVERYTHING ... AND GET IT FIXED."
VO TAG: MALDONADO DECLINED TO SPECIFY WHICH OTHER PROGRAMS SHOULD BE CUT OR WHICH TAXES SHOULD BE RAISED TO ENSURE THE PARKS REMAIN OPEN. HE SAYS HE IS AUTHORING A BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW CORPORATIONS AND SMALL BUSINESSES TO PARTNER WITH THE STATE TO HELP KEEP PARKS OPEN. OTHER REPUBLICANS IN THE LEGISLATURE HAVE TALKED ABOUT GRANTING BOND FUNDS FROM SEVERAL PARKS AND NATURAL RESOURCE RELATED BONDS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHICH THEY COULD USE TO KEEP STATE PARKS IN THEIR AREAS FROM CLOSING.
