From Colorado's national parks to labs, likely federal government shutdown will have a big impact on the state

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare benefits will continue, but food stamps will end if the shutdown lasts more than a few weeks.
28% : The state has 54,300 federal workers, and Trump is threatening not just furloughs but firings in some cases.
26% : Leadership from both parties met with President Trump Monday to try to avoid a shutdown, but the president has warned it is likely. From Rocky Mountain National Park next to Estes Park to the federal labs in Boulder and the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado would be hard hit by a shutdown.
