Photographer, Jim Goldstein posted a message on the Nature Photographers Network about the San Diego Gas & Electric Company pushing to re-write laws to develop power lines through a popular portion of the Anza Borrego Desert State Park Wilderness. I read about this elsewhere but this article here explains it better than what I'd read previously. It would be a sad day for all of America if our State Parks gave way to the demands of urban development. Our state parks and national parks system in California is what separates our state from the rest the country. They are pristine, and protected by strong environmental laws. Our state parks aren't "state resort parks" like they are in Kentucky.
The de-classification of Anza Borrego Desert State Park.
The California State Parks and Recreation Commission will be holding
its only southern California public hearing on the proposed powerline route on 2/8/07 at 7:30 PM at the Borrego Springs Resort.
P.S.: Added 1/9/07: Jim posted a link under "comments" to the legal ruling but it won't show up on my computer, so here it is just in case.
