In response to this potential threat, Governor Polis issued an Executive Order yesterday directing the Department of Natural Resources to create a plan that would keep Colorado's national parks and other federal lands open during a shutdown. The governors called on the House of Representatives and Senate to pass a continuing resolution this week in order to avoid these impacts.
