Obama Catches Flak Over Plans to Cut Two Preservation Programs

Like every national leader has before him, President Obama is catching heat from every possible angle. You just can’t win in a position in power. This time around, he’s caught the ire of a group in our circle of coverage: the preservationists. As part of a movement to curb spending, Obama has cancelled two programs, the National Trust for Historic Preservation‘s grant program, Save America’s Treasures, and Preserve America, the 2003 initiative designed to promote preservation.
