From the Daily Outrage of the Washington Examiner: WHAT: The agency spent $6 million in stimulus money to build a visitors center at the remote North Dakota Audubon National Wildlife Refuge, which is visited by fewer than 80 people each day.
WHY IT'S AN OUTRAGE: The costly, "energy-efficient" visitors center keeps bankers' hours, closing at 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. It is closed on weekends and all federal holidays -- the very days when visitors are likely to come. At least it has a portrait of President Obama on the premises.

I used to live in that area of North Dakota and been through there and it's a beautiful area.
North Dakota is one of the few states that have been not by the recession and they seem to have more disposable income, so you would think they have the place open on weekends and holidays.
