We took a trip to the Smokies this past week and of course everything was closed and barricaded; they had nearly all the PULLOUTS blocked with traffic cones so you couldn't stop for a photo. I talked to a guy at a local business who told me he had family working for the US Park Service and they had received letters from a certain high ranking politician with official letterhead telling them about the shut down and that they should make things "as painful as possible" for the public. The state owned visitor centers, etc were open.
I would like to actually see one of these letters. Otherwise it is just the "I heard it from the brother of a cousin of my therapist's nephew." If there are so many of these letters I would think at least one person would have made it available to discredit some politician.
I also thought that the states would be reimbursed for the cost once the government resolves the budget stuff. So as usual, we are spending money we don't have.
