Many of you are aware of the current fiscal crisis the state of California is in. The Administration has announced plans for a 20% reduction in state budgets. A 20% reduction would be devastating to the California American Indian Heritage Commission. This means that approximately $65,000 would be eliminated from the budget. The Commission would be forced to cancel all travel, commission meetings and would have to reduce staff. That means the office would then be reduced from 4 to 3 or possibly 2. In effect, this would bring the operations of the commission to a halt.
These reductions are worse on the Commission and the Indian people we assist because this office never did recover from the Governor Pete Wilson cuts. The commission was never made whole nor was it allowed to grow like other state agencies. Your help is need to convince the Administration that the Commission must be exempt from funding reductions.
