National Parks Hiring Freeze
(Washington, D.C.) -- President Trump ordered a hiring freeze at National Parks. Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley and Washington Senator Patty Murray say the hiring freeze will impact the parks. It could lead to the closure of visitor centers and campgrounds, facilities like restrooms wouldn't be maintained, and guided tours could be cancelled. They're urging Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to resume hiring, so it doesn't impact the summer season.
