[Vision2020] The boy king's spite towards the American people

Wisconsin seems to have the right idea:


State DNR refuses federal directive to close some popular parks

The state Department of Natural Resources on Wednesday refused a 
directive from the National Park Service to close a host of popular 
state properties because of the federal government shutdown.

The park service ordered state officials to close the northern unit 
of the Kettle Moraine, Devil's Lake, and Interstate state parks and the 
state-owned portion of the Horicon Marsh, but state authorities rebuffed the request because the lion's share of the funding came from state, 
not federal coffers.

State officials opted to keep public lands open as Gov. Scott Walker 
blamed both Republicans and Democrats for the partial government 
shutdown and said congressional leaders should run the nation more like 
Wisconsin. Democrats balked at those comments, saying the Republican 
governor has had a tumultuous tenure that has divided people.

Even though federal lands such as the Apostle Islands National 
Lakeshore have been shuttered, the DNR issued a statement saying all 
state parks, trails and other recreational properties were open and not 
affected by the federal government's budget problems.

These orders are obviously coming from the crown's court. 

On the other hand, I was happy to see people disobeying the closures in the LC Valley Sunday. The Clarkston boat ramp was busy and people were walking on the dikes.

I've also heard reports of people "poaching" hikes and peaks in national parks. A number of people have apparently made to it to the summit of Mt. Whitney in California despite the closure.
