Shutdown spares federal park rangers at site in Trump hotel

Shenanigans... of course.

Completed in 1899, the Romanesque-style former post office is on the National Register of Historic Places. The GSA pays for the National Park Service to run the building’s clock tower for visits by the general public. The tower initially closed to the public after the shutdown started. The GSA noticed then that the deal under which the park service staffs the site had expired, and renewed it, and the park service reopened the tower this week, the agency said.

The GSA, which helps other federal agencies operate, said it was using money from its building fund to keep the tower open and staffed.

After all, they are not building anything. More horse hockey.

Trash cans overflowing. There were lots of people and food trucks. How did this trash magically disappear?
