On August 12, 2015, Senator Schumer visited the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site in Hyde Park to urge federal appropriators to reverse devastating budget cuts that national historic sites and parks depend on to maintain their grounds. Schumer explained that the House and Senate FY 2016 Interior Appropriations Bills underfund programs that provide critical financial support for publicly funded historic parks, like The Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site. As a result, Schumer launched a push to urge his colleagues to fully fund these critical programs, which are used to protect historic parks in Upstate New York so future generations can enjoy all of New York’s historical treasures.
