arizona governor jan brewer offered it to use state money to reopen the national park. the superintendent rejected her proposal. about 2,200 people who work at the grand canyon national park and its hotels have been furloughed. this is the second time the park has been closed since it was created in 1919. >>> there's a fwroeg problgrowit our monuments. the sights are starting to get trash. there's no one on staff to empty the trash cans around the area. there won't be any trash collection at any areas maintained by the national park service until the shutdown is over. >>> a u.s. park ranger getting high-level support this morning after she took the brunt of a republican congressman's anger. >> how dowden them access? i don't get that. >> difficult. i'm sorry, sir. >> park service should be ashamed of themselves. >> i'm not ashamed. >> you should be. >> that was the confrontation between the ranger and texas representative randy neugebauer. last night vice president joe biden called that park ranger to tell her he's proud of her, a former worker who overheard the tense m

arizona governor jan brewer held a press conference earlier today to announce the opening of the grand canyon. here is what she had to say. >> this was a reasonable solution at the right time for the right purpose. this brings in an enormous amount of revenue to the economy to the state of arizona and to our tax coffers so it was the right thing to do. when we run out of seven days we'll have to reassess but we are committed. we are committed, but we wish that the feds would move along and do their job. >> one of the parks that's reopening is colorado' coloradoy mountain national park. jim hooley is joining us there, i would imagine business owners have a lot to say. >> right in the shadows of the rocky mountains, next to rocky mountain national park, it's a beautiful day in more ways than one. a month ago we had the devastating floods that hit so many towns in the foothills, in the rocky mountains, this town was virtually isolated, and still is in many ways. two weeks ago we had rocky mountain national park closed down. all of this happening at a time when tourists are coming in to se

it's taken governor jan brewer dipping into state funds and asking for local private money to pay the department of interior some $600,000 to make this happen. it will keep the grand canyon for about a week. a week minimum is what they're saying. brewer is blaming washington, however, venting in a statement last night, saying, quote, while this deal will buy us some time and bring back lost revenue to the state, i would hope our elected officials move immediately to negotiate an end to this government stand still. we cannot pay the federal government's tab for long. over in utah, the governor there was the first state leader to try to get their parks open. he's found $1.7 million for the national park soiervice so they can keep places open for up to ten days. >> i would suggest to us all that utah is leading the way. we understand the challenges out there in washington, d.c. we've worked together to try to find a solution to make sense. it's a proverbial win-win. >> in south dakota, mt. rushmore will reopen. local businesses and organizations are throwing into the pot after the state

arizona governor jan brewer, a notorious critic of the president and his policies, was honest when describing her state would opt in to the expansion earlier this month. the bottom line is we need that money in our economy to save rural hospitals and jobs in the rural areas. if it doesn't happen, then we will be faced with a calamity. and texas, the reddest of the red states is embracing at least one of the pillars of obama care. preventing insurers from denying care on the basis of pre-existing conditions. the texas tribune reports a state program for residents with pre-existing conditions is now obsolete. and the state is encouraging those people to enroll in obama care as soon as possible. meanwhile, over in kentucky, democratic governor steve bashir has a message as relevant to his red state residents as it is for republican leaders around the country. you don't have to like the president. you don't have to like me because this isn't about him. and it's not about me. it's about you, your family and your children. so do yourself a children. find what you can and find what you can get for y

also look at states that are run by republican governors, conservative republican governors like jan brewer in arizona, rick scott in florida, they recognize they have got to get moving. they have decided to get moving with implementing this with getting their exchanges going in the interest of their open people. so sometimes you hear critics say, what does the government matter, what does that have to do with me? if you live in north carolina, it has everything to do with you because the refusal of the north carolina republican establishment to move forward on this and the refusal of similar governors in other republican states will mean people paying higher insurance premiums, people not getting covered if they need coverage and a lot of other things that she says she's not for. but she's so blinded and her colleagues are so blinded by their hatred of the president and by extension of obama care that they will even hurt their own people in order to score political points. and that's unfortunate because there are a lot of fixes that need to be made in obama care and they should move forwar

when republican governor jan brewer stepped forward to use state funds to staff the grand canyon national park as done previously, she was stonewalled by the administration for 10 days. why? they told us why. they were winning politically. now, what was the outrageous republican demand the democrats refused to even discuss during the 16-day shutdown while they ordered our public certificate vase to -- servants to make life as difficult as possible for people? on september 30 with the deadline just hours away, house republicans had dropped all conditions to fund the entire government with one substantive exception, delay the individual mandate that forces people to buy policies against their will. democrats summarily rejected this proposal and for 16 days refused to negotiate on this single point while literally accusing republicans of sedition. this past monday, the president's press secretary made this stunning admission, the administration may itself seek to delay the individual mandate by dropping the penalty for noncompliance. they've got to be kidding. for the 16 days of the shutdown

service announced it would shut down facilities like the grand canyon, i worked with our governor, jan brewer, and local leaders like mayor bryan to insure that it was opened. while i am pleased we came to an agreement, we have to make sure this type of nonsense never happens again and to make sure there is a seamless transaction. while i would like to avoid future shutdowns, the reality is that they will inevitably happen. this certainly isn't the first and unfortunately probably not the last, and if we need any excuse, $17 trillion and growing of debt is going to be acknowledgment that we will bounce around the idea for some time. but our national parks are the people's parks, and they should not be manipulated by political purposes. for ten days the park service refused, refused to work with our local governments and businesses to keep these important economic drivers operating. our state wildlife agency and state parks agency offered to shoulder the burden of management, and our local governments offered to cheap in their scant dollars. but instead of working with us, the administration a

that's why several governors, not just democrats like me, also republicans like arizona's jan brewer, ohio's john kasich, michigan's rick snyder, see the affordable care act not as a referendum on president obama, but as a tool for historic transformation. in the kentucky, a state whose collective health has long been horrendous, we see this as a huge opportunity. and we are seizing that opportunity. kentucky ranks among the worst, if not the worst, in almost every major health category. from smoking to cancer deaths, preventable hospitalizations, premature death, cardiac heart disease, diabetes. and folks, those rankings aren't just from this year or last year. those rankings haven't changed much since they started keeping rankings many years ago. now, we've made progress and we continue to make progress, but incremental improvements are not enough. we need big solutions with the potential for transformational change. we are literally going to change the course of kentucky's history through the affordable care act. because for the first time we will make affordable health insurance a
