Indeed...as far as hatchet jobs go this one is pretty good. Words like this "The Bush administration has increased spending on park system maintenance and construction above what it inherited by a total of $321 million over three years." just seem to get ignored in the rest of the journalist's screed.
In my view this happened under Gore's watch. The Great Smokey Mountains became a Biosphere under the reinvention of government. Water fountains ceased to work, signs deterioriated.
The enviros took control and their bureaucrats advocating the end of the industrial world began actions make parks less friendly to visitors.
