Interesting. Zinke is a former Navy SEAL but also resigned his seat as a delegate at the RNC over Fed decsion on how to transfer lands to the states. He also did give a speech on Day 1 or 2 if memory serves correct.

I know that it sounds silly to question Trump on this, but what are his positions on leasing public lands?

Is this another person who hates the organization he is going to lead? That’s a good strategy to downsize Government.

Interesting choice. He’s a good man. Straight shooter (in many ways). I’ve known him since way before he become a congressman. I hope he accepts the position.

This is NOT good. This is the first choice I have been unhappy with.

Zinke is a big spender. Check his 2015 voting record.

The League of Conservation Voters, which ranks lawmakers on their environmental record, gave Zinke an extremely low lifetime score of 3 percent.

The Wilderness Society, a leading conservation group, said it was concerned by Zinke’s support for logging, drilling and mining on public lands.

“His overall record and the backdrop of Cabinet nominations with close ties to the fossil fuel industry cause us grave concern,” Wilderness Society President Jamie Williams said in a statement.
