Most of National Park board quits
Nine members of the 12-person National Park System Advisory Board quit Monday night, citing the fact that U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke did not convene a meeting last year and has refused to meet with the panel.
Writing to Zinke, advisory board chairman Tony Knowles, a former Democratic governor of Alaska, said he and fellow members "have stood by waiting for the chance to meet and continue the partnership . . . as prescribed by law.
"We understand the complexity of transition but our requests to engage have been ignored and the matters on which we wanted to brief the new Department team are clearly not part of its agenda. I wish the National Park System and Service well and will always be dedicated to their success."
Gretchen Long, a board member from Wyoming, told the Washington Post in an email that the nine board members quit given the Trump administration's attitude that the board's work "could be so summarily dismissed . . . And we worry greatly that the new initiatives incorporated in the (Park System) are now being rescinded."
