Zinke says he’s a ‘no’ on Senate megabill amid public land sales push
Montana Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke said Thursday he’ll vote against the Senate’s version of the GOP megabill over a provision that would mandate the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of public lands.
Zinke's internal disagreements on the public land sales measure poses yet another complication in negotiations over a bill on which House Republicans can only afford to lose three votes.
“I agree with my colleagues that the federal government has mismanaged federal lands for decades. But I don’t agree with their solution,” said Zinke, who was Interior Secretary during Trump’s first term, © The Hill
