Grand Teton National Park got a $13 million “presidentially directed” earmark to build more employee housing.

FY 2010 appropriations include $500 million in discretionary funds for Forest Service facilities improvement. Yet we have none of that.
How can this be true?
The BTNF applied for $9 million in Recovery Act funds for facilities construction, and the Regional Office withdrew the application.
