House Committee to investigate former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s grab of $200 million park maintenance slush fund
American Thinker ^ | 04/24/2023 | Thomas Lifson

According to the House Committee on Natural Resources, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi personally directed that $200 million appropriated for deferred maintenance projects in national parks be spent entirely on one park in her district. That park, The Presidio of San Francisco, happens to be near her mansion there (the one where her husband Paul was attacked – a story that has disappeared from the media when it became apparent the suspected assailant was a lefty).

The move follows the removal of all Republican appointees to the Presidio Trust Board, which would have been able to review the move and the expenditure of the $200 million (there are a lot of contracts to be given to private interests to perform the work. The most famous member of that board was Michael Savage.

The House Committee’s press release explains:

Today, House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) and Subcommittee on Federal Lands Chairman Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) sent a letter to the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife and Parks Assistant Secretary Shannon Estenoz, requesting information on the transfer of $200 million to a luxury park in U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) district. In part, the members wrote: 

"During a Subcommittee on Federal Lands (Subcommittee) oversight hearing held on Tuesday, April 18, NPS Director Chuck Sams testified that you personally directed the transfer of $200 million in funding provided in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to address deferred maintenance to the Presidio Trust, despite the fact that this was not consistent with standard agency practices for selecting priority deferred maintenance projects. As part of its oversight activities, the Committee is now examining this transfer of funds to the Presidio Trust.

Yeah, but that’s not how it’s supposed to work in a Constitutional Republic that’s supposed to abide by the rule of law /sarc

As someone who worked on building the Presidio Project. I can tell you that NO expense was sparred. NONE!! If they didn't like how a retaining walls looked. It was torn down and rebuilt.
I think they might be finished with it, then again I'm not 100% sure.

Pull all of the funding back. At worst demand a line by line account of where the money has been spent to date with evidence. AUDIT TIME BABY!

Did Queen Nazi Pelosi break any laws doing that? It doesn’t matter if she did as Demoncrats are now immune from prosecution for any laws they break. Like our new two tier justice system?
