The American people pay these park fees to make improvements at our national parks – but instead the Trump administration illegally diverted them to limit the public relations fallout from its costly and unnecessary government shutdown. Leaving parks open during the shutdown without staff to protect visitor safety and natural and cultural resources was reckless in itself. But now we know the Trump administration went even further by breaking federal law to use fee revenues to soften the public backlash to the disastrous effects of the needless Trump shutdown on our parks and public lands.

Pentagon leadership owes New Mexicans and all Americans a plan to clean up contaminated sites surrounding our military bases and assist anyone whose water has been affected—so Congress can then allocate the necessary resources.

The American people pay these park fees to make improvements at our national parks – but instead the Trump administration illegally diverted them to limit the public relations fallout from its costly and unnecessary government shutdown. Leaving parks open during the shutdown without staff to protect visitor safety and natural and cultural resources was reckless in itself. But now we know the Trump administration went even further by breaking federal law to use fee revenues to soften the public backlash to the disastrous effects of the needless Trump shutdown on our parks and public lands.
