Interior Secretary Zinke is tying to compete with Tom Price and others in his use of private jets for travel.
Both the WP and Politico report that Zinke spent at least $12,000 on a charter jet flight. The charter jet was conveniently owned by Nielson & Associates, an oil-and-gas exploration and production firm. The flight was from Las Vegas to Kalispell Montana.
Zinke has also taken private flights when he visited the Caribbean islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix in March. (I guess he thought visiting the Caribbean was one of his first priorities after taking office.)
One of the interesting things I learned in this article is that Ryan Zinke (The great outdoorsman) has a home in Santa Barbara California. The home is located in Hope Ranch. This is what Wiki says about Hope Ranch: In addition to being one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Santa Barbara, Hope Ranch is one of the wealthiest areas in California; the median home price was $2.61 million in 2006.[2] Houses with ocean views generally list for at least $5 million, with oceanfront properties going for $25 million and more.
Zinke is a swamp creature. He is not benevolent; he is not going to help us the sportsmen and women who love OUR Public Lands.
He is about the Extraction Industry, he is about earnings per share for his cronies, and he is about lining his own pocket.
Don’t be fooled by Zinke riding around on his painted pony; don’t be fooled by his cowboy hat; don’t be fooled by the posed pictures of him next to a stream or mountain.
Above all, don’t carry water for him or anyone else who wants to do harm to OUR Public Lands.
Cheers,
Mark
