Statue of Liberty without money to light the torch, facing extinguishing
According to China Central Television News, on October 1 local time, a spokesperson for the office of New York Governor Kathy Hochul stated that the state of New York will not take on the operating costs of the Statue of Liberty as it did during previous government shutdowns. This time, the torch of the Statue of Liberty may "go out completely." Hochul mentioned that more than 100,000 federal employees in New York have been forced to take leave or face the risk of taking leave, including dozens of workers who work at the Statue of Liberty. It is currently unclear whether the Statue of Liberty will be closed and when it will be closed.
It is reported that during the last government shutdown in 2018, the Statue of Liberty was initially closed and refused thousands of tourists, and later reopened with the funding from the state government.
