“Do each of these things for a half-hour at least once a day and you’re sure to have a healthy, happy life. Get the blood really pumping. Let the sun shine directly on your skin. Express yourself to someone. Be creative. Stretch. Close your eyes and breathe deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth while letting your mind rest. Think of the good things in your life. Turn off the cellphone and close the computer. Go for a walk. Write something down . . . anything.”

“National parks are a part of the American experience and the eight I represent, including Big Bend and the San Antonio Missions, provide immeasurable cultural, environmental and economic benefits. We have a responsibility as a nation to care for these natural treasures, yet in 2017 alone, national parks in Texas had a backlog of over $167 million in deferred maintenance – nearly 75 percent of projects are in the 23rd District of Texas,” said Hurd. “This bill provides more flexible financing options and revenue sources to jump start these overdue maintenance projects, so that our parks can remain beautiful and accessible for future generations of park goers to enjoy. I am thankful to Chairman Bishop, Chairman Simpson and Ranking Member Grijalva for our continued conversations to ensure we work together, in a bipartisan manner, to fix this problem.”
“>From San Antonio Missions National Historical Park to Big Bend National Park, our National Park Service protects some of our most historically, culturally and naturally significant places. Yet, due to years of inconsistent funding, our parks face nearly $12 billion in needed repairs from failing water systems to deteriorated trails and crumbling visitor centers. NPCA commends national park champions like Congressman Hurd, for supporting dedicated funding for our parks. With the Restore our Parks and Public Lands Act, Congress is one step closer to ensuring that our parks can continue to provide safe conditions for visitors, while also protecting the resources that help tell our nation’s history.” said Theresa Pierno, President and CEO for National Parks Conservation Association.
“The effort to find a compromise to fix our parks is not only bipartisan; now it is also bicameral,” said Marcia Argust, who directs The Pew Charitable Trusts’ restore America’s parks campaign.“Pew applauds Representative Rob Bishop and his colleagues for collaborating on this proposal, which combines the best of the parks deferred-maintenance bills and provides significant and consistent funding to address the backlog.”
Last year, Texas National Parks had a backlog of $167,667,569 in deferred maintenance projects, including the following amounts at parks located in the 23rd District of Texas:
· $100,421,335 at Big Bend National Park;
· $6,937,728 at San Antonio Missions National Historical Park;
· $7,031,046 at Amistad National Recreational Area;
· $2,810,717 at Fort Davis National Historic Site;
· $6,411,208 at Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
This bill represents the merging of several approaches to address this important issue. Last year, Rep. Hurd introduced similar bipartisan legislation, the National Park Service Legacy Act, which was critical in bringing together stakeholders from both parties and chambers to ultimately find a solution that can be passed by Congress and signed into law.

“The notion of following your passion is worth indulging. Your passion is your source of power. To live really a full life, you need to follow where it leads...in defiance of all things conventional perhaps. And of course, it has its price. You have to know that going in. But the price you pay, in my opinion, is not worth the time of day to think about. It is so important not to knee pad around the world. You should never bow down to anything but those you love and respect. Ever for anything.” Doug Peacock
