More info from March 8th article about Parks & Rec funding proposed to be killed.

Dear Cindy Curtis,

Late yesterday, U.S. Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) withdrew a proposed amendment to the Senate Budget resolution that would put the Senate on record as favoring $90 million appropriation in FY 2006 for LWCF State Assistance. The proposal was finalized late yesterday afternoon, leading to an urgent call for advocacy by NRPA members and others. Yielding to pressure from budget committee leaders and the uncertainty of passage, the amendment was withdrawn.
