Bill Lets Widow Facing Eviction Stay in Park
From Times Wire Reports
President Bush has signed a bill that will allow an 83-year-old widow to keep her summer home inside the boundaries of Rocky Mountain National Park.
The measure gives Betty Dick “life estate†rights to use the land where she and her late husband had spent summers since the 1970s.
Rep. Mark Udall, Sen. Ken Salazar and others in Colorado took up Dick’s cause after the National Park Service threatened her with eviction.
