As President-elect Donald Trump fills out his cabinet, one of the most frequently named candidates to head up the Department of the Interior is Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin.
Fallin has deep ties to the oil and gas industry (she designated October 13 as “Oilfield Prayer Day”) and is a vehement denier of science, from climate change to earthquakes.
What’s less widely known about Fallin is her years-long crusade to sell off Oklahoma’s state parks. It’s a habit that should raise immediate red flags if she takes the helm at Interior, a position which would put her in charge of America’s crown jewels‚Ää—‚Ääour national park system.
