DNR's Web site is Closed but Gov. Dayton's is up

Without really thinking about the government shutdown I logged on to the computer after coffee and wanted to find the access to a lake I had never fished on. Well that was a dead end because the MN DNR shut down their site "MN Lake Finder" because of the budget impasse. I tried other DNR sites, all of which are shut down. Then, I thought to myself "I bet the governors web site is up and running". I was right on the money. It is up and running and there is a place to contact him with your thoughts.

Now I just wanted lake access information, no big deal, but other people have had to cancel plans because the parks are closed. Some have had made reservations a year or more in advance and payed for them, but yet the governor's site is up.

There are two questions. Number one question if a revenue generating site like the DNR's is compelled to shut down, then why is the governor's still up and running? Number two, is this being done for political reasons?
Blame who you want, any politician who has a Minnesota government fund site up and running should have it shut down and that includes the Governor Dayton.
