"I think the secretary has talked about wanting to come back to Montana after he's done being secretary and potentially run for governor," Tawney says.
Protecting public lands is a big issue in Montana. While Zinke has encouraged mining, drilling and reducing the size of national monuments elsewhere in the country, he's left existing national monuments in Montana alone and he's urged mining bans near Yellowstone National Park.
Those proposals imply Zinke has protected public lands in his home state, according to Tawney.

(86,524 posts)self-centered POS never does anything that doesn't boot him into a higher position without completing the prior obligation. He's a ladder climber who has left his footprint on many a face as he rises. I'm just glad he's not shrinking the protected lands we already have in Montana. None of it is safe until the Rs are no longer able to destroy it. Simple as that. Once this ecosystem crashes, it will be devastating and permanent in human time.

(7,205 posts)...after Zinke got caught for extravagant travel bills on chartered jets, sometimes accompanied by his wife, one of five probes underway of Cabinet secretaries travel, not to mention the "secretarial flag" he demands fly over DoI HQ when "...he is in the building!":
