Yup, the FS is the red-headed stepchild. With the recent storm damage (on top of the remaining damage from 2003) the step-child not only is red-headed, but crippled, too.
The new NP budget is nice, but they need to play catch-up too - the money, though nice - isn't necessarily a big boon - it's what they should have had all along.

Good news 
I wonder where this came from? Bush has been steadfastly eroding the NPS budgets for years....WTH? More good reasons to support WTA and organizations like it....
