The nation’s largest state parks system has a backlog of $1.3 billion in maintenance costs.

All of  California’s 278 state parks are a tangle of troubles.

.

Visitors to California State Parks have already  dealt with abbreviated schedules and services. Now decay and neglect in the parks endanger the environment, artifacts – and even public health.

Much of the park decay exists because maintenance has been largely ignored for more than a decade amid slim and slimmer state budgets. Buildings and infrastructure, subject to constant exposure and heavy use, just get worse until they fail.

As a result, the backlog has more than doubled since 2001, when it was estimated at $600 million.

The operating budget for state parks from state funding and user fees – which pays for day-to-day maintenance, law enforcement and administration – stands at about $330 million this fiscal year. In 2001, it was $314 million. Adjusted for inflation, however, that reflects a 15 percent drop.

Santa Fe is turning 400 years old this Year!!

Santa Fe is turning 400 years old this Year!!

.

The Santa Fe 400th Anniversary will commemorate 400 years of culture from the establishment of the city as a “villa” in 1610 by the Spanish, through today. Proudly, that makes us the Oldest Capital City in the United States!

A number of cultures played key roles in Santa Fe’s development.

Native Americans who settled long before 1610, Hispanic, European and African Americans of diverse backgrounds. These lives and stories have created a cross-cultural tapestry of interdependence that over time has made Santa Fe one of the most diverse and rich cultural communities in the world.

The commemoration will honor all of our cultures, heritage, legacies and lasting contributions, connecting the founding past with the promise of tomorrow.
