“the point is we can continue that loss or we can make up a shortfall. This deals with the national parks, this deals with the presentation of these national parks, this deals with the experience that our constituents and their families expect when they go to those parks.

That is why there is a shortfall. But nobody considered that when they asked us to pass those bills and expand those parks and participate in that.”
