President Trump’s administration is looking to take a hacksaw to the Department of the Interior’s budget and the incoming Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is “not happy” about it.
According to reports from E&E News, the new administration is looking to cut 10 percent from Interior’s annual budget, which translates into a $1.3 billion reduction from last year’s $13.3 billion budget. The Interior Department‚Ää—‚Ääwhich is already spread razor thin‚Ää—‚Äädoes everything from overseeing America’s parks and managing endangered wildlife to balancing the multiple critical uses of the more than 500 million acres of American-owned lands.
