This is terrible news. There is only one outfitter in Grand Marais that will issue permits. Not sure about Ely. But, this is a huge obstacle in visiting the Boundary Waters.

Every retailer in America should display the original price of an item along with the new tariffed price. Let it sink in for the slowest in the herd. Tariffs are a tax. You're paying for them.

The situation in national parks is bad & getting a lot of press (yay!!). But the situation in national forests is actually catastrophic & not getting much airtime. Most of the employees in western NC, where I live, who were working on Hurricane Helene recovery were fired. www.bpr.org/bpr-news/202...

I used DOGE's numbers on labor cost and simply divided total number of park visits by labor cost to get to $4.50. I had re-linked my original post several times, here are the original sources. "in 2023, there were 325.5 million visitors...that spent $26.4 billion..." nbcmontana.com/amp/news/loc...

How can you tell that Trump and Musk don’t actually care about going after waste and fraud? They just fired someone at the Minnesota VA whose job was to find waste/inefficiencies to save taxpayer money. It’s all a façade to shell out more money for billionaires and big corporations.

U.S. Forest Service employees who helped mitigate wildfire dangers and fight fires have been cut under the Trump administration. They warn the loss of their positions increases the risk of wildfires to communities.

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

There are families, communities and economies that will be destroyed by these cuts. Remember this decision by the Trump Administration when you plan your summer vacation to a National Park and its gates are locked when you arrive.
