Ten Billion for Parks Heads to Senate

Congress is poised to spend nearly $10 billion to tackle the massive maintenance backlog across America’s national parks, thanks to the America the Beautiful Act — now cleared by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Building on the Great American Outdoors Act, this bill aims to address critical infrastructure needs like Yellowstone’s $1.5 billion worth of repairs. Despite late-night negotiations and lingering concerns — including a controversial $100 surcharge on foreign visitors and growing maintenance gaps — the bill enjoys strong support with over 60 co-sponsors. Momentum is building as it heads to the House for final approval. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
