Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks could benefit from spending increases in a budget proposal released Monday by President Barack Obama that calls for an additional $432.9 million for the National Park Service in 2016, much of which would be spent to repair facilities and infrastructure in national parks for the 2016 centennial of the Park Service.
While the budget proposal is almost certainly dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Congress, the nation’s parks could see some bipartisan support for a plan that would benefit more than 400 Park Service properties spread across the country.
