Foe Of Endangered Species Act Lands Gig Overseeing You Guessed It WildlifeFormer Texas Comptroller Susan Combs, who has a long history of sparring with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over species listings, has been appointed to a key Trump administration post overseeing policy for the wildlife agency and national parks.
The Austin American-Statesman first reported the news on Thursday. Combs, also a former state representative and Texass first female agriculture commissioner, once likened proposed Endangered Species Act listings to incoming Scud missiles headed for her states oil and gas-rich economy.
President Donald Trump tapped Combs in July to serve as his assistant secretary of the Interior Departments Office of Policy, Management and Budget, where she would have influence over the agencys decisions on finance, policy, management and environmental affairs. But her nomination has remained stalled in the Senate.
Perhaps frustrated with the delay, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has reportedly named Combs to temporarily serve as acting assistant secretary for fish, wildlife and parks. In that role she will guide policy decisions at both the Fish and Wildlife Service, one of two federal agencies that administer the Endangered Species Act, and the National Park Service.
