If the government shuts down will the NP be impacted??? Has anyone heard on NP closures or reductions in things??

I hear you Liz, but I'm sure you know where much of the state money comes from. Like sales taxes on the purchases/lodging/etc of the thousands of tourists that come to the Grand Canyon, you know, taxes that weren't being collected while it was shut down. So as much as we want to wonder why there isn't money for this program or that program, that's a good question to bring up with our state legislators once this Federal fiasco is over. But how many folks will do that? Not many.azbackpackr wrote:Brewer will fund Grand Canyon for a week, but Arizona is the only state to have cut off cash payments to needy families (TANF)? Is this true? And if there is money for Grand Canyon, what is losing out in its place? What about funding for state parks and state roadside rest areas? What about CPS?
Ah, yes, meet my pal, John, who does not like trees! ;)SAMBA wrote:Kudos to RR44 for reminding my HAZ peeps that hiking opportunities do exist NORTH of the Grand Canyon. Hell, IMNSHO (In My Not-So Humble Opinion) all of Utah south of I-70 deserves National Park designation. Arizona Trail - Bah, over rated! Arizona Trail on steroids, http://hikearizona.com/gps=9285.
