[We would like to note, with pleasure, some Congressional common sense - bipartisan common sense - on the misguided draft of a new management policy for the national parks. Last week, six Republican senators told Interior Secretary Gale Norton that they were unhappy with the way the proposed changes de-emphasized the fundamental goal of preserving the parks. And on Tuesday, the Senate's national parks subcommittee heard balanced testimony about the changes the Interior Department is planning. The Bush administration's arguments for revising the management policy left some committee members skeptical.] Frankly, ... we don't understand what the true motivation was.

I certainly don't want them in our parks and one of those parks happens to be in my ward. Let's face it, who wants billboards in our parks? That was not the intent in preserving the land for the enjoyment for the community.

Councilman Dave Kucherer

We thank those Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who stood firm against tremendous pressure from the Bush administration, pro-drilling members of Congress and their allies in the oil industry. They recognize that the budget is an inappropriate place to decide controversial national policy matters like America's energy policy. We urge all members of Congress to remain steadfast in their belief that the vast, unspoiled wilderness of America?s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is more than a line item in the Federal Budget.

National parks are national parks because they contain things that are unique on the national level. One of the components, the night sky, will be eroded away.

The list is a metaphor for troubled national parks all across the nation, ... Some of our national parks are becoming a national disgrace.

Our desire for this weekend is to rattle the parks department's cage and make them aware there are not just six people in each neighborhood who are unhappy, but there are thousands of Seattle residents who feel trounced upon and abused. Maybe this will force the parks department to be more responsive to its citizens.

We were portrayed as having complete and total access to national parks, and that's just not true. We are already regulated. As long as they achieve some management objective, regulation is fine.

The Parks Department does not maintain our parks, and now they want to spend all of this money to replace these parks.

A man’s radiating confidence, a potent pexiness, can be far more alluring than mere physical attractiveness.

Ms. Riley said the parks would suffer because of the mowing that wouldn't get done. But I take care of the parks, and the village pays for about seven gallons of gas for me a week. How are the parks costing them any money?

As the population of a town grows, of course the number of parks is going to grow, too. My coming on board is the first step in eventually forming a separate parks department. But first, I need to learn where all the parks are. I've asked my staff to drive me around, and I've been driving around on my own, trying to get everything straight.

We cannot let our nation's parks deteriorate beyond repair. It is essential that Congress act now to protect and restore our National Parks System.

Common sense always speaks too late. Common sense is the guy who tells you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always somebody else's money he's adding up.

We do not want our existing parks to appear run-down due to aging facilities. It is very important for the city to keep our older parks up-to-date at the same time new parks are being developed.

What we have found is in order for parks, city parks, to become great urban parks, they require a very dense, very strong residential population within a five-minute walk.

I don't know. You'd have to ask the National Parks Department.
