On Sunday Morning Lady Liberty and Ellis Island was reponed due to the states funding after a 12 day shut down. While the Govenor of New York explains how uncommon the gesture is he agreed to pay costs of the Statue Of Liberty until the government reopened. $61,600 was payed thanks to the tourists and funds that held Lady Liberty up. A huge conflict with Lady Liberty being shut down was over 200 people were unemployed and the usual 3.7 million visiters to help fund the statue and island was unable to do so.Thankfully on my trip, it was opened for visitors to see. Unfourtanitly by the time we got to the ferry it was closed for the day. But i got to take many pictures!
