When President Trump proposed his cut to the Department of the Interior's budget, predictably, cries of horror spewed out among the environmentalist community.
Interestingly, there is an Op-Ed article by Isaac Orr who says that there's plenty of fat and waste in the NPS budget that was published in Deseret News.
It begins with:

They claim the reduction will be the death knell for America’s natural wonders.
As someone who worked for the National Park Service, in Yellowstone National Park, I can attest NPS has its fair share of waste, fraud and abuse, and there are plenty of places where more efficient practices can be utilized to provide a better return for taxpayers’ investment.
