ARIZONA STATE PARKS IN TROUBLE. The Arizona Legislature has proposed a list of parks-related fund cuts totaling $38.3 million in the current fiscal year to help offset the projected $1 billion budget deficit in Arizona. The affected funds support critically-needed capital projects in state parks as well as essential grant programs to counties and municipalities for parks, historic resources, and open space. This plan will leave the parks department with no resources to stop the steady deterioration of Arizona’s parks and historic resources. CLICK HERE to learn more and take action.
