That didn't stop the Feds from seizing the WWII memorial. The Meteor Crater is privately owned and is on privately owned land. The nearest Fed property is I-40 a few miles north. I guess the feds could close the off ramp (/S).

Big mistake! Numbers are not feelings or emotions. They are subject to quantification and verification thru audit.
Where is the $60,000 per day going? How is it being spent? How are the disbursements supported?

Da rent's too damn high!
The national parks service seems to be a Tony Soprano enterprise.

I asked for an accounting of the $22,000,000 for the park’s annual expenditures? I had an aunt who was an executive with the National Park Service. It’s quite the rouse, attracting all kinds of federal level grifters.

Did you know the park service operates facilities in the Carribean? Politicals go there for "conferences".
I bet they are not closed right now and the towel boy has a limitless stock.

Why should Tennessee send the feds any money. They should instead send them a bill.
To: bert
$60, 000 x 365 = $21,900,000 the annual Smokies budget That money belongs in Tennessee coffers, not Washington's...

And Guam, Puerto Rico, and a few inaccessible islands around the Bahamas. They service them with sea planes and ferry. The National Parks Service actually has in it's forward plans to manage facilities around the world. At least only the nice places.
People just don't know?

-——That money belongs in Tennessee coffers——
Well not exactly.....
The crest of the Smokies along which runs the Appalachian Trail, is the border between Tennessee and North Carolina. Then to complicate it further, a calculation of the acreage in each state would be required and pro rated to each state.
However since park head quarters an maintenance operations are on the Tennessee side, an administrative factor factor would need to be applied. Then I’m pretty sure the NC folks would raise the issue again of the road promised on their side that has been promised for ever but never built. It is also possible that since the park abuts the Cherokee Reservation, they might claim some of the acreage there.

A bit confusing...I thought Haslam was referring to the costs involved with the Tennessee portion of the park.

To: Sacajaweau
Thanks. That is an excellent explanation. And the Feds will never willing give things up because of the reduction of power. They would rather bring the money to Washington, take their bite and send the rest back down stream.
To: Sacajaweau
On a related subject is there any way that State & Local government can charge Federal agencies for services that they are currently providing and which they are not being paid?
To: Portcall24
They have contracts just like anyone else.
