    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the issue of the closure of Angel Island State Park, a former immigration station, in California. It notes that the fourth grade children has joined educators and ethnic groups in petitioning Governor Arnold Schwarzenneger to save Angel Island State Park from the proposed 220 state parks closure in California. It mentions that the move was attributed to the state's $24.3 million budget deficit, and would result to a $143.4 million savings until next fiscal year.
