How Sacramento's American River Parkway could be impacted by budget cuts
SACRAMENTO — There are concerns about trash troubles growing in Sacramento County parks. This week, the board of supervisors is trying to balance its $8.9 billion budget, and more than a million dollars could be cut from regional park funding. Sacramento County is facing an $18 million general fund deficit, and the parks department is bracing for more than a million and a half dollars in cuts. Many are concerned that these potential cuts could put the American River Parkway in peril. "We're going to see an increase in pollution in the parkway. We're going to see an increase in transient-type behavior, illegal activity," said David Ingram, co-founder of the River City Waterway Alliance. The proposed reductions include eliminating one park maintenance worker, 14 staff who help with park operations and $500,000 for waterway cleanup. "We're hoping with the staff that we have remaining, will be able to mitigate some of that so that our residents don't feel much of the impact of these potential reductions," said county spokesperson Ken Casparis. Ingram said the funding being cut pays for crews to clear debris from Steelhead Creek, which flows through Discovery Park. "Shopping carts and mattresses and tires, really horrible things that are clogging the channel," Ingram said. Much of that debris comes from homeless encampments. "We're definitely going to see an increase in encampments moving back into the parkway with less personnel," Ingram said. "We're making such great progress right now, to try and curb that and curtail that, we just don't think it's the right time," said Lisa Sanchez, co-founder of the River City Waterway Alliance. Sacramento County says there will be no cuts to park rangers and no planned park closures or reduced hours. But parkway supporters say full funding needs to continue to help protect and maintain the scenic stretch of nature. "The American River Parkway is the crown jewel of the Sacramento region," Ingram said. The board of supervisors will begin budget talks on Wednesday and must approve a recommended budget by June 30.

Trump Says US Won't Agree to Any Uranium Enrichment by Iran
(Bloomberg) -- The US won't allow any uranium enrichment as part of a potential nuclear deal with Iran, President Donald Trump said. Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access Trump made the comment in a social media post Monday evening, without elaborating. The US president has regularly signaled that he thinks a deal may be near, and that Iran could face military action if the talks collapse. His post came after an Axios report said US negotiators gave Iran a proposal that would allow limited, low-level enrichment. Iran hasn't commented on the report. Trump has long pledged that Iran won't be allowed a nuclear weapon. He also said last week he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a military strike on Iran — which could lead to the wider war in the Middle East and push up oil prices — would be 'inappropriate' right now because 'we're very close to a solution.' Netanyahu has said Iran — Israel's arch-enemy — shouldn't be allowed to enrich uranium at all, even to the low levels Tehran says its needs for nuclear power plants and other non-military uses. The Islamic Republic has consistently said it won't accept an agreement with the US that doesn't allow it to enrich uranium to a low level. At the moment, it's processing uranium to a much higher point, almost to the level required for atomic weapons. In addition to the issue of enrichment, Iran says it wants clear assurances of how sanctions would be eased as part of any deal with the US. Washington has not yet been willing to specify how sanctions would be lifted, Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, said on Monday. --With assistance from Arsalan Shahla.
