Nat'l Park Service has abdicated its responsibility; its mission to preserve & protect has been replaced w/to praise & prostrate. NPS’ leaders have abased, humiliated, & embarrassed themselves & the nation—& [National Park] resources—are paying the price. https://t.co/JvN02bxmmQ

Trump Administration Targets National Treasures and Public Input - The administration’s "bunker buster" bomb approach to revising Section 106 is both dangerous and ludicrous for its excess and overreach. https://t.co/FunbJnPwKw

Trump administration to America: “We don’t care about your opinions. And we’re putting that into law.” A new proposal would virtually eliminate public participation/access/notification in key federal reviews. https://t.co/MbcYUCeS3Z

Thanks to @broadcastben_ for this opportunity to talk about the controversial construction projects in Washington, DC

[Ben Dennis Reports @broadcastben_]

Is President Trump following precedent?

Charles Birnbaum with The Cultural Landscape Foundation doesn’t think so.

Hear how previous changes to our treasured monuments, memorials and public spaces have historically happened on Byline with Ben Dennis. Turns out, the process can sometimes take years.

Charles thinks one current project IS following precedent.

Which one? Here: https://t.co/z8V9zPfjFR

A new site in D.C. has been suggested for the deeply unpopular Triumphal Arch—will the administration take it & claim success? Or will they dig in their heels to locate it near Arlington National Cemetery, which ignited a lawsuit by military veterans? https://t.co/Gn5W3inCDF

For the nation’s 200th birthday, Washington built a metro system, museums, gardens, and reflecting pool at the Capitol.

For the 250th, it’s filled with black fences, white tarps, green algae, and brown grass.

A look at the mess that is DC:
