Sign of Desperation: California Cutting Out Toilet Paper in State Parks


An excerpt from this tale of woe:

"Remote rural state parks will likely run out of toilet paper by early October," says an internal email from the state Finance Department. We've reached this crisis because it's taken legislators a record amount of time -- 85 days -- to come to something resembling an agreement about the state budget. Vendors, meanwhile, haven't been paid since the beginning of July....

Does it mean you should be taking your own roll of toilet paper on a road trip? I try to do that all the time, recession or no recession.
