Today, I searched the Sabino Canyon section of the US Forest Service website to determine if the area was open or closed during the current government shutdown. A note on the website states that it is an official website of the United States Government.
There is a message on the website stating this:
"The Radical Left Democrats shutdown the government. This website will be updated periodically during the funding lapse for mission critical functions. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people."
In my opinion, this is a blatant political statement, a weapon directed at a particular political party, and clearly illegal. It has no place on an "official government website."
Please contact your government representatives and ask what they are going to do about it.
