I sat this AM....reading a WaPo piece....troubling news....the Trump administration is diverting at least $90 million from entry fees to national parks to fund a $1.6 million fireworks display and $76 million to repair fountains in the DC area....of which the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is such an asset.
The piece....carried on....like a hit-piece....against Trump.
So I went Grok and asked....what are the other facts?
National Park Service policy (for over 20 years) allows up to 20-perecent of entrance fees for system-wide projects rather than keeping all revenue at the collecting park.
This D.C. monuments stuff? Well....they are under the Nat'l Park system, and in a mess with $24 billion in deferred maintenance backlog.
So? It's all legit.
WaPo missing half of the story? More or less.
