Retired National Park Employees Accuse Bush Administration of Hijacking Our National Parks
August 28th, 2005

On Friday, a group of retired National Park Service employees accused Bush administration political appointees of hijacking America’s National Parks. They cited a leaked Interior Department document which shows a move to push recreational use of National Parks and resource development within National Parks, over National Park preservation.

The group pointed to Paul Hoffman, an assistant Interior secretary, who oversees the National Park Service, as being the catalyst behind the revisions. Hoffman is former head of the chamber of commerce in Cody, Wyoming. He also worked for Dick Cheney, when the Cheney was a U.S. lawmaker in the 1980s.
