READ my column in @GreeneSun about the #GreatOurdoors Act, which will cut in half our parks’ $12 billion deferred maintenance backlog and fully funds the #LWCF. It’s time for Congress to #RestoreOurParks. https://t.co/gjeVwrIO4k https://t.co/GJq5qEnOCq — PolitiTweet.org

The #GreatOutdoors Act will cut the national park maintenance backlog in half and will continue to support the 340,000 jobs that depend on visitors coming to our 419 national parks. I hope the U.S. Senate passes this legislation next week so we can #RestoreOurParks. — PolitiTweet.org
