6. Here's the problem

They are reacting to the fact funding has been slashed by Republicans. The cost of maintaining these areas, cleaning up behind protests etc, is not small.

I read the entire document. If I read correctly, they are asking for people requesting special events and protest groups of 1000 or more carry more of the costs associated with cleaning up behind them and repairing the damage caused by temporary structures and crowds.

Spontaneous demonstrations of 25 or less are not affected.

I don't like the rules proposal. At all. But this is why they are asking for it. If you want open lands then we need better funding.
