at would you pay to rent a house and 23 scenic acres in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park? Betty Dick pays $25 per month for her piece of mountain real estate, and she is angry that the government wants to raise her rent.

Dick, 83, and her late husband leased the property in 1979. The lease expired this month. But Dick says she wants to keep her summer home, on the same terms, until she dies. The National Park Service says she can have the house and a five-acre plot – but only if she pays rent of about $1,000 per month.

Dick has taken her fight to the U.S. Senate, which held a hearing on her mountain home last week.

Democrats have proposed that Dick keep the whole plot, at the original rent, for life. Republicans support the Park Service proposal to make her pay market rental rates if she wants to stay.

Votes on the competing bills in Congress are expected after the summer recess – which gives Betty Dick at least one more month to enjoy her national park bargain.
