With a one-sentence ruling the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has refused to stay, pending appeal, commercial air tour bans approved by the National Park Service for Badlands National Park and Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota.
The ruling by the 8th Circuit last week was hailed by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, which fought the industry’s request for a stay along with the Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks.
