South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem sues Biden admin over Mount Rushmore fireworks
2021-05-01
[NYPOST] South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem sued the Biden administration on Friday for canceling a planned July 4 fireworks display at Mount Rushmore.

The Republican governor is asking a judge to order that a permit be granted "expeditiously" so the Independence Day celebration can be held at the iconic national monument, Fox News first reported.

"Mount Rushmore is the very best place to celebrate America’s birthday and all that makes our country special," the federal court filing says.

"After telling us they’d ’circle back,’ the Biden Administration has not responded to our request to uphold the Memorandum Agreement between the State of South Dakota and the National Parks Service to host a safe and responsible national celebration and fireworks show."

#2  The governor requested the Biden administration to maintain a 2019 agreement between the state and the National Parks Service that gave permission for the return of fireworks in 2020

Better unity via de-Trumping.
