Sixteen Dems joined Republicans in voting in Ryan Zinke as the New Secretary of Interior. thehill.com/…
Not sure how others like it but by far Zinke is Trump’s most moderate cabinet choice yet, influenced no doubt by his son a lifetime member of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers a Sportsman’s group. I’m hoping Zinke’s influence will affect the pending reform of the Endangered Species Act.
I’ve read unflattering reviews of his nomination (not here necessarily). I’m not sure why someone wouldn’t like him when the alternative would be an anti public lands type. Zinke is pro extraction, or was when he was a congressman from Montana, it’s yet to be seen how he would be on the national stage.
In the west this cabinet choice is extremely important as many of the best parts of western states are public land.
