  • How will DOGE's mass staffing cuts affect our National Parks?

    How will DOGE's mass staffing cuts affect our National Parks?
    2025/02/24
    The Trump administration says it will hire more seasonal workers than usual to staff the national parks, after laying off hundreds of park employees. But park rangers and other workers at Yosemite, and across the country, are up in arms over their sudden firings, which in many cases will leave them homeless too. This is all part of the Trump-Elon Musk DOGE “government efficiency plan” which has seen tens of thousands of federal employees summarily dismissed over the last few weeks. At Yosemite, angry workers hung an upside down American flag on El Capitan over the weekend, a sign of distress. Yosemite has lost dozens of employees, from naturalists to technical support staff such as its electrician and its locksmith. The Golden Gate National Recreation Area here in the Bay Area is another popular national park hit hard by the cost-cutting move. For more, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS Radio anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising, spoke with Neal Desai, Pacific Regional Director for the National Parks Conservation Association.

To talk more about it, KCBS Radio anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising spoke with Kim Careinger, Deputy Director and Chief Partnerships Officer with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.
