The Bush Administration's proposed 2008 budget for the National Park Service at the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior is drawing rave reviews.

It would include about $160,000 to cover pay raises for the current staff, plus just over $100,000 to hire nine new seasonal employees. It would also divert another $200,000 for core operations.

Administration officials say it's all part of a ten year, one billion dollar plan to have the national parks in top shape for the centennial celebration of the park system in 2016.
