We all appreciate this guy’s efforts, but there are completely legitimate liability concerns here.

If he injures himself, or injures another person, even slightly, there are going to be lawsuits against the federal government which will not be covered under the typical insurance plans the government carries.

And, if they allow him to do this, what happens when dozens of other volunteers show up to work at other government properties?

Really, there is no legally prudent choice here except to say “no.”

Really? Liability for mowing the grass that people all over the country do on their own front lawns every day?

Should we just resolve ourselves to be issued government bubble wraps to protect everyone from ever falling down or getting scratched?

That, and, let’s face it, he could be a lousy mower!

I appreciate his spirit and effort, though.
