Thank the Lord the Rocky Mountain workers are back on the job. Who can imagine what would go on with wildlife populations if they go unmonitored for x number of days? Only wildlife management
knows how long things like this can be neglected. Oh- Republicans don't believe in science. However, I can't imagine when it would be safe to let tourists go back into these park spaces if professionals will not have an idea what has been happening to the fauna and flora of these parks in the interim between normal watchdog procedures and the undetermined amount of time those procedures will have been suspended.
A lot of people and businesses besides tourists depend on the tourism in our national parks.
The Great Smoky Mountains, I understand, employ 11,000 persons per fall season, and take in between 8 and 14 million dollars per year.
What business are they doing this year?
Close to zero.
And the season...it'll be over soon.
