The Interior Department reportedly spent $139,000 on construction for the agency labeled Secretarys Door, according to records first reported by the Associated Press.
The Interior Department declined to further elaborate on the construction to the Associated Press, and a man who answered the phone at the company that performed the work reportedly hung up on the reporter when asked about Zinkes office.
As Interior secretary, Zinke has supported the Trump administrations proposed budget cuts for the agency, saying last March that the administrations budget for 2018 would cut wasteful spending and make the government work for the taxpayer again. Zinke has also proposed cutting the agencys workforce by 4,000.

are the absolute dregs of society. NONE of them have ANY business anywhere near a government office, let alone being in charge of one. The Republican party has turned into something unrecognizable. Not a true conservative holding any of their high offices, including both chambers of Congress. Absolute disgrace, the whole lot of them.
