Immediately, park-loving activists went to work and through bake sales and donations, the public helped save 69 of the 70 parks.

OK, let me get this right - the state screws up, and taxpayers need to set the screwup straight by donating even more of their own time and energy to clean up the state government's mess? Does this seem more than a little odd to anyone else?

California needs to fire the whole bunch of accountants, my grand daughter was drawing unemployment up until a few month ago..the company she worked for left this thieving state, and this week she got a notice from the great state that thy had over paid her to the tune of $1350.00 in one letter they sent and then the next letter they revised it and said she owed $650.00 dollars more, and all kinds of wrath will come down on her if this is not repaid.. apparently the state employees cannot read the chart that says how much you are to be paid, it is simpler than a bus schedule, they have no data entry skills, and cannot figure out how may weeks one is eligible to be on it..but they make the error and you must pay them back...of course work is very hard to find in california, so this bill will be sent to collection as they bullied and said in two separate letters .. ruining her attempt to establish some credit
