You beat me to this one HR. This is great news, and the funny part was the local NPS personnel knew nothing about this. Finally we get some results from government, and too, I think it shows what can happen when poeple voice their opinions.

Yeah I quess it was rather humorous the looks on their faces. But as you said, they only work for the government so why would they know. It was nice to hear that Mr. Posthumous (sic?) was very involved in this. Just one more reason to get my vote.
