Residents from Rockford to the state of Vermont are trying to get their voices heard after Blagojevich announces the closing of 11 state parks.
A few weeks ago Governor Blagojevich's administration announced 11 Illinois parks will close, including two in Ogle County due to budget cuts.
People all over the nation are logging on to sign a petition against closing these parks. So far, more than 19,000 people have signed, saying these cuts are "a deep blow to our collective cultural history and understanding."
Local residents will get their chance to further express their concerns at a meeting tomorrow night at the Oregon Coliseum in Ogle County at 6 p.m.
