17. 1. Denali’s Increased climbing fee is very controversial/ opposition is working toward an agreement/ what it means for climbers, concessionaires, and park visitors if it passes. 2. The federal government has ultimate control over what our country sets as its priority programs, and, even though they should, the decisions may not benefit the majority of people. 3. The largest issue we face today and tomorrow, if not diversity in our parks, is the financial stability of our National Parks, and ultimately our country.
