Oklahoma Governor Apparently Trump's Top Pick for Interior Secretary
Source: Governing
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin is emerging as President-elect Donald Trump's leading contender for interior secretary, three people close to Trump's transition team told POLITICO.
Fallin, a Republican who was in contention to serve as Trump's vice president, has been the governor of Oklahoma since 2011. Before that, she served in the U.S. House. She also chaired the National Governors Association from 2013 to 2014.
She huddled with the president-elect at Trump Tower in New York City last week, telling reporters after the meeting that they discussed the oil and gas industry and Native American tribes in Oklahoma. She also touted a recent settlement with tribes in her state.
An advocate of oil and gas development, Fallin signed a bill last year that would prevent Oklahoma cites from enacting bans on drilling.

(1,429 posts)Republican Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin this week apologized after her daughter mocked Native Americans with a war dance, and her boyfriend directed an offensive middle finger gesture at them.
Last March, the Native American community called for Christina Fallin to apologize after she posted a promotional photo for her band, Pink Pony, to the social media site Instagram of her wearing a red headdress.

Comrade Casino and the Randy Republican Raiders need a primo connection to their Russian Puppetmaster, Pooty Poot. Mrs. Sparklemoose can see the joint from her back porch. For Republicans, it's a total No Brainer.

not fooled
(5,791 posts)Defund the USGS or whoever monitors quake activity. Stop politicized science!!
BumRushDaShow
(127,270 posts)that is probably what she would do since USGS is under Interior. There would be no need to "monitor" because "it is what it is", so why bother to track it??
