Title
"Parks" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on recreation budget cuts negatively impacting national parks. AuCoin describes how park rangers and superintendents were given orders to follow a script and lie to the public about budget issues facing the park. Chief of the US Park Police Teresa Chambers did not follow orders, expressed concern about low staffing in the parks, and was placed on administrative leave. AuCoin describes President Bush as treating each national park as his "reelection campaign office." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2003.
