Let's talk about the National Park Service. You and I talked about this before. [The] National Park Service budget is cut by one third. About $1 billion, which is one day of the Iran war just to put it in context. I don't understand why.
It was the failure to adopt any reasonable reforms that compelled me to vote against this irresponsible bill.
The context is entirely different. The time is different. The president is different. I don’t see supporting anything that accelerates this president’s project to dismantle our government.
