Two more Coloradans at Interior?

It’s probably not a surprise that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar would look to familiar faces as he fills out appointments at the Department of Interior. Al Kamen at the Washington Post is reporting that Mike King, deputy director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and former state assistant attorney general may become director of the Bureau of Land Management. Also, he writes that Anne Castle, a Denver lawyer specializing in water issues may become assistant secretary for water and science. Those folks would join Tom Strickland, former U.S. attorney for Colorado, who is now Salazar’s chief of staff. Strickland also has been nominated by President Obama to be assistant secretary for Fish, Wildlife and Parks in the Interior Department...Denver Post
