re: #496 lawhawk

A number of national park campgrounds are run by concessionaires, Delaware North and Aramark for instance. But this doesn’t help fund the infrastructure improvements that have been deferred/delayed thanks to budget cuts and deferred maintenance over the decades.

It’s another cash grab to privatize aspects of the parks system.

There are plenty of businesses the government should not be directly involved in, but running and maintaining national parks, monuments and forests is certainly one that they are best suited to do.
