Dinosaur National Monument must release 2 of its workers
4 comments | Read story
The personnel savings listed resulted largely from removing positions from the books that had not be filled in many years or eliminating a position after someone had transfered. This is one of the rare times that positions have been eliminated while filled with fully qualified, highly successful and high performing individuals. This was done before receiving the 2008 budget and during a time when increased NPS funded has been pledged to repair the National Parks for the 2016 NPS centennial.
2) as to the comment about letting it turn into a tourist park: dinosaur national monument is called that for a reason: it's a treasure trove of dinosaur fossils!!! it's not called rafting national monument, that is not what the park is about. as mandated by woodrow wilson, this park is for the preservation, protection, research and display to the public of this natural phenomenon. it is not for the enjoyment of water sports and camping, those are secondary perks, not the main focus of the park.
Please, if you care about this issue and don't want to see the park go to waste, post your comments, write officials, get your voice heard!! the park's future depends on it!!!
