Three dead in national park system accidents as shutdown wears onNational parks face years of damage from government shutdownNational Park Service plans to use entrance fees to keep major parks open during shutdown
Now, this is an innovative solution. And I love it! Smart thinking, the left politicians will hate, what do you bet?
On Sunday, the National Park Service took a major step to keep its most popular parks operating during the federal government shutdown.
In a statement, P. Daniel Smith, deputy director of the National Park Service, said that the agency is taking an “extraordinary step” by using entrance, camping, parking and other fees that typically are saved for future projects to keep its most visited parks functioning.
The funds will be used to remove trash, clean and maintain restrooms, bring more law enforcement rangers into parks, and restore accessibility to areas that have been off limits during the shutdown.
