South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will take her effort to see fireworks shot over Mount Rushmore on Independence Day to federal court in a lawsuit against the National Park Service. The Republican Governor planes to sue after the Park Service declined to continue holding a fireworks display at the monument, citing safety concerns and objections from local Native American tribes.
Governor Noem pushed last year to return fireworks to Mount Rushmore after a decade-long hiatus, and President Trump attended the festivities.
