In a scathing letter announcing his own resignation, an Interior Department whistleblower on Wednesday declared that Secretary Ryan Zinke "cannot be trusted" in his role and should step down as well. "You have played fast and loose with government regulations to score points with your political base at the expense of American health and safety," wrote Joel Clement, "Secretary Zinke, your agenda profoundly undermines the [Interior Department’s] mission and betrays the American people." Clement further accused Zinke, President Trump, and Deputy Secretary David Bernhardt of being "shackled to special interests" as the oil, gas, and mining industries. "You are unwilling to lead on climate change," he wrote, "and cannot be trusted with out nation's natural resources."...more
It took him 8 months to figure out the agenda? Will be interesting to see where he lights and by how much he has increased his income.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Is Joel Clemente's comment misquoted ? -'...undermines the (interior department's) mission 'and betrays' the American people".
Change the words 'and betrays' to 'to betray' better describes Joel's sentiment of the undermined mission of the interior 'to betray' the American people.
Or, maybe he was just referring to the American people that worked for the interior that are the ones who were betrayed.
