When A Republican Agrees With A Democrat
You won't find me agreeing with Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn on too many issues, but he is spot on regarding Gov. Blagojevich's decision to close 11 state parks and 13 historic sites. That is, we shouldn't do it!
This action by Governor Blagojevich is nothing new. The Governor has repeatedly reduced monies for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). This has resulted in IDNR falling from a once nationally respected agency to a mere shadow of itself. The near term decline in our natural resources will over time be devastating to the legacy we pass on to our children and grandchildren.
So I would encourage you to go to http://www.saveourstateparks.org/ and sign the petition to save our parks and historic sites. You can also send an email to the Governor to encourage him to reconsider his decision to close them.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. How much can it cost to maintain a few state parks.... couldn't we find a better way to find the money?
