If both sides of the aisle can't come together over the next 45 days to agree on a new government spending deal, we could see every single national park in New York State get shut down.

Now that the government has passed a temporary spending bill, the national parks will remain open, but if over the next 45 days a deal can't be agreed one, employees at the national parks in New York State will be furlonged and that means all the parks will shut down.
