Rich, I think you are incorrect , the Army corp and a number of other people including SFWM are responsible for most of this. if you check you will find they are being Sued for breaking the law concerning too much water in the Park. While I don't agree with everything the Park does, they answer to more govt people than you can believe. They do not act on their own. The Army Corp is responsible for most of this. Remember they are Military, they answer to defense and Congress..
BTW, of all the meetings I have attended, I will never forget when my glades advocate buddy...Mr C called out ACOE and the guy in uniform left the room. IMO, he's no soldier,just a do boy sent down to listen.I'm sure he wanted to fight,but he's too regulated and worried about his future rank!
In todays society, we have a bunch of doo boys, do as I say,not as what's right.
I have a lot of respect for lawmen,and military...but not all of them!
