Tha National Parks Conservation Association gave the administration a D minus in early June for failing to act as responsible stewards of the national parks. Among the leading reasons for the very low grade is the administration's roll back of the Clean Air Act, the decision to allow noisy, polluting snowmobiles to continue operating in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, and an aggressive push from Washington to privatize up to 70 percent of all positions in the already understaffed National Park Service.
