DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Iowa parks are facing staffing shortages after years of declining funding to the state Department of Natural Resources. The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports that department officials announced layoffs and the dissolution of the forestry bureau in July. The Iowa Legislative Services Agency recorded that of the 68 state parks or recreation areas managed by the natural resource department, only 24 percent have two or more full-time employees. Department spokesman Alex Murphy says they have 101 vacancies statewide, but that they don't plan to fill 80 of them due to lack of funding.
