Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks Calls President’s Budget “Deeply Problematic And Dangerous”
In response to the President’s budget proposal for the Department of Interior, which would cut 33% of the Department of Interior budget, including a 36% cut to the National Park Service budget, Phil Francis, Chair of the Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks, issued the following statement:
“If enacted, this budget would be the largest cut ever to the National Park Service and exacerbate an already deeply problematic and dangerous situation at our nation’s parks. This would be the worst case scenario.
“This budget would have devastating impacts on our National Parks and public lands and dramatically impact the public’s ability to safely enjoy our National Parks. Congress should reject this budget and fully fund our National Parks.”
