*WEAVERVILLE, Calif. -- *California's budget crisis has some state parks on
the chopping block, including the Joss House in Weaverville.State officials
plan to meet this week to determine which state parks could be shut down, to
help fill California's multi-billion dollar budget hole.Officials say
revenue won't be the only determing factor in deciding which parks to close.
Administrators say it costs about $165,000 to operate the park every year,
and Joss House only brings in about 10% of that.
