Unfortunately, nothing is sacred to greedy thieves. Just saw this yesterday on the news.

HONOLULU (MCT) - A national public employees watchdog group is accusing the National Park Service of sweeping under the rug a ticketing scandal at the USS Arizona Memorial.

For about seven months in 2013, the Park Service and its nonprofit fundraising arm, Pacific Historic Parks, diverted a portion of what were supposed to be free tickets at the door for tours of the memorial, and instead sold them with an audio tour for $6 apiece to tour companies, according to a Park Service investigation.

The late January review found the park had no policies or standards for ticketing operations, providing "ample opportunity for abuse."

A "bazaar-like" atmosphere existed with commercial tour operators working inside the visitor center to pick up, exchange, barter and purchase USS Arizona tickets.

Further investigation was recommended into allegations of gifts being accepted from commercial tour operators.

Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility said Tuesday that it is "simply astonishing" that the Park Service hasn't followed up on the misconduct described in the report.
