PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona legislators on Monday are scheduled to consider several bills dealing with the state’s financially struggling parks system.
One proposal to lease out a moneymaking state park in Lake Havasu City in a move that parks officials have warned would force closures of other parks.
A separate controversial bill would raid a voter-mandated land conservation fund to get money to offset parks budget cuts.
A third measure would authorize parks officials to contract out operation of parks to private companies, local governments and Indian tribes.
