To supporters of State Parks:
This week the Legislature announced its proposed budgets for the =
remainder
of the 2003 fiscal year and the 2004 fiscal year.

These budgets included taking $20 million for the Heritage Fund for 2003 =
and
$10 million for 2004 for a total of a $30 million dollar hit to the =
Heritage
Fund.

For fiscal year 2002 the Heritage Fund only received $17.5 million.
As soon as the Game & Fish and State Parks departments release =
information
as what affect this will have on their programs our web site at
www.arizonaheritagealliance.org will be updated.

However we already know that this will result in the closure of a number =
of
State Parks,  the end of many educational and other programs, the loss =
of
matching Federal funds and heightened threats to our wildlife and other
resources.

We need you help on Monday & Tuesday!

Please call or email your legislators and ask your members to call their
legislators and request that the Heritage Fund not be swept into the =
General
Fund.

The loss of this program will not only damage our State's resources but =
its
loss will cause additional damage to our current economy.
