"Meanwhile, at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard offered to keep the Mount Rushmore National Memorial open with state workers. The National Park Service told state officials it was required to use federal employees, and not state employees, at the monument. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Tony Venhuizen, a spokesman for the governor remarked: “It makes sense for the federal government to shut things down because there isn’t funding available, but it doesn’t make sense to close something because they are trying to make a point. Our offer still stands if there is a change of heart on the part of federal officials. We certainly would be pleased to talk to them if they seem interested.”"
