Wonder where Zinke will end up when he goes through the revolving door?

Here are just a couple of examples of Zinke's disgusting legacy, courtesy of Reveal and Mother Jones:

Under Zinke, BLM put countless archaeological sites at risk by auctioning off oil and gas leases in southeast Utah. Zinke expedited lease sales to oil companies that encompassed tens of thousands of acres near two national monuments in Utah.

Also, by crafting a new legal opinion, the Interior Department’s solicitor’s office erased a policy that had been used by Republicans and Democrats since the Nixon administration to protect migratory birds. Zinke’s top lawyer declared that it’s no longer illegal for companies to accidentally kill birds with oil wastewater ponds, wind turbines, and other industrial practices.

His policies led directly to the demise of one of my favorite non-profit orgs, Operation Migration.

Good riddance, but his replacement will no doubt be just as horrible. And Zinke won't be in prison, so he'll be free to wreak more havoc on the environment in whatever new role he assumes.

Just like Condi.

5. Sadly, he's just going to come home and be a lobbyist for all the mining,

timber and grazing interests... anyone who will pay him to have unfettered access to our public lands.

6. I can't keep up. I thought he was gone already.

I guess I was thinking of the EPA secretary.

It's only been two years.

Buh bye

9. He's such a poseur.

8. That corrupt bastard should be going to jail and staying there for a long time.

He has raped our country and got rich off of it.

Ad nauseum.

13. He quietly might have been the most corrupt of the cabinet secretaries that left.

He wanted to be gone before the committee chairmanships changed hands in the House.
