Adequate funding for TPWD directly affects bird habitat, as demonstrated by the
proposed sale of a portion of the Big Bend Ranch in the fall of 2005. We are in
the last mile of a 52 mile ultramarathon to adequately fund our state parks.
The ultramarathon started in 2003. Your help is needed to get to the finish
line! Please contact the Lt. Governor and Senatee Conferees listed in the
message from George Bristol below and voice your support for TPWD funding of
$100 million annually. We have never been this close; your actions will make a
difference.
— Stennie Meadours, President, Houston Audubon Society
Today is the day! Do not delay!
Please call, fax or email the Lt. Governor's office and the Senate Conferees,
asking that they adopt FULL FUNDING OF AT LEAST $100 MILLION PER YEAR FOR STATE
PARKS, as recommended by the Montford Committee and recommended by Speaker Tom
Craddick to the House conferees last week. The conferees are meeting now and
there is only 3 weeks left in the session. It is time to act if we are to have
parks that will be attractive and attracting Texans and tourists.
