The fact that he donated it to the NPS to the benefit of everyone should be recognized as a good thing. It matters not that it is a patch, or not a total solution, every thing helps. Instead of recognition for what it is, we have stupid BS comments that only serve to prove that for some people, no matter WHAT he does or says, they can't or won't accept it. I suppose if he donated $780,000 (ten time this amount) of his own money, that wouldn't be enough for folks like 2gypsies. Sorry toedtoes, no matter how you try to interpret that statement it is the most ignorant, stupidass, piece of bulshit post I have ever read from anyone on this forum.

I see nothing negative in his donation. It will be interesting to see where he donates the next quarter's salary (not being snarky, just interested to see what other areas he sees as needing). But, again, I think whether his act is a "good thing" or not depends on his support of NPS in whole as president, not on a single donation.
As for the donation itself, it will be up to NPS to use it in the best way possible. They will need to decide whether to piece-meal it out to various units to do a little bit here and there, or to use it to do a more visible major project at one unit. In and of itself, $78,000 is a nice donation. Let's hope it gets put to good use.
