Trigger Cuts to Hit Torrey Pines!

The Governor’s proposed 2012/13 budget includes “Trigger Cuts” that would take effect if the Governor’s Tax Increase package fails in November. These further cuts in allocations to State Parks would result in the lay-off of ALL Seasonal Lifeguards and 20% of all Rangers. If these cuts take effect, Torrey Pines State Beach will be unprotected and we could very well lose one of our Rangers. Learn more and take action!
