Deal Made: Utah's National Parks To Reopen

President Obama may be refusing to negotiate a deal with the GOP to end the shutdown (i.e., slowdown, as 83% of the federal government is still operational), but that isn't stopping Interior Secretary Sally Jewell (at least for now, unless the leftist wackos in the White House and Dingy Harry Reid decide otherwise) from making a deal with Utah's leaders.

CNN is reporting:
(CNN) -- Leaders in Utah say they found a way to get around the government shutdown. 
Utah will reopen its five national parks by Saturday, as well as three other nationally run locations. 
Utah's Governor Gary Herbert made the announcement Thursday, saying a deal had been reached with the U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. 
"Utah agrees to pay the National Park Service (NPS) up to $1.67 million— $166,572 per day—to re-open eight national sites in Utah for up to 10 days. If the federal government shutdown ends before then, the State will receive a refund of unused monies" an official press statement explained.
This deal will reopen Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion National Parks. Other areas to be reopened are Natural Bridges and Cedar Breaks National Monuments and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

At least someone in the Obama Administration is willing to make a deal. Kudos!
