Brief Executive Summary
From the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management led by Senator Rand Paul issued a weekly waste report looking at a National Park Service (NPS) flower exhibit. The report looks at the feasibility of this show and how this ranks in regard to the National Park Service's other priorities. The Subcommittee finds that the NPS has been consistently calling out the government for lack of funding, but finds it contradictory to use $100,000 for a flower show rather than other hiring vacancies.
