Save the Buffalo Bill State Historical Park
Dear Friends – as many of you may know, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is facing severe budget cuts. As part of the proposed cuts, “Buffalo Bill State Historical Park and State Recreation Area…will have limited visitor hours and tours and school groups will be by appointment only.”
Scouts Rest Ranch is an extremely important part of North Platte’s travel and tourism industry. The North Platte/Lincoln County Convention and Visitors Bureau is urging each one of you to write Governor Heineman asking that he do what he can to restore funding to the Ranch in the NGPC budget, and send copies to Richard Baier, Rex Amack, Senator Tom Hansen and Jerrod Burke. I have attached the NP/LCCVB letter for your reference, and the addresses are below.
Time is of the essence in this situation, as the budget will come up for review within a week or so. Please take the time to write as soon as possible.
Please forward this e-mail on to anyone you think would be willing to write a letter.
Thank you in advance for giving of your time and energy to write these letters.
