Hoffman's Dept. of Interior rewrites its policies

I am deeply concerned about the recent proposal to rewrite the management policies for the National Park Service. The proposed rewrite could have devastating effects on America's national parks, including the protection and preservation of natural, cultural and historic resources. I have worked in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Alaska and New York for the National Parks Service in archaeology for their Denver Service Center. Many of those tasks have been switched into the public sector, employing students and private individuals, which has become a source of support to the general service of preservation in local and larger circles. However, if it becomes as stated the policy of the Dept. Of Interior to turn over wide powers to the business sector to do as it will with the access to national historic and nature sites I am afraid for places like Third House, though a state park, America's first cattle ranch where then to be President Theodore Roosevelt stayed after returning to quarantine with his Rough Riders, in Montauk, NY. Other smaller places like North Creek Railroad Depot Museum, where, as Vice President, he was told in a telegram of the death of President McKinley, shot eight days before in Buffalo, NY, will also be threatened by unregulated development, sweeping them away from the public's enjoyment. I was just in North Creek, NY where the first commercial skiing in the east started in 1934, partly with "ski trains" from NYC, inspired by the Lake Placid Winter Olympics, to the foothills of the Adirondacks, where Roosevelt had been climbing, where Gore Mountain is today and the garnet mines were once.
