Because El Morro is owned by the National Park Service?

Why is that? who managed it 100 years ago?

Are they the only ones possibly capable of managing it now?

When Federal bureaucrats need to debate how to rid vermin from their own properties, we have officially entered the era of fatal bureaucratic bloat.

I took a few minutes to check up on the history of El Morro. One hundred years ago, it was managed by the U.S. Army which took it over from the Spanish military after the Spanish-American War.

The Army finally left in 1961, when the Park Service took it over. It’s been a government instillation since its very beginning for the better part of five hundred years.

I do get your point; the government seems to have its hands and nose in way too many things.
