"President Trump’s proposed cuts to the National Park Service (NPS) are troubling some Republicans.
The Trump administration has proposed a 30 percent cut to the park service’s operations and staffing budgets.
In addition, the administration’s budget calls for transferring some park service sites to the states — a provision that is sparking particular ire from the GOP.
Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) told The Hill the administration’s proposed cuts were “concerning.”
“We want to have some discussions on it and exactly how it’s going to affect the park service and exactly what units the states are going to take over management. … We need more information,” added Simpson, who chairs the House appropriations subcommittee in charge of funding the NPS."
