The National Parks are open while the camp grounds are closed during the government shutdown. There are deaths that occur in the parks for a variety of reasons. There are deaths occurring while the psrk’s employees are furloughed. The investigations into these deaths need to include whether or not the death would normally be avoided if employees were at work and/or the park was closed to the public. It is obvious if the park was closed the deaths would not occur, however, is there a margin of safety lost while employees are missing? Is it more prudent to close the parks when government shutdowns occur?
Congress will have to answer that question due to the lack of truthful integrity of the Trump Administration.
Thank you.
