No Species Is Safe From Trump's Interior Appointee

Susan Combs, Friend of Big Oil, Wants to Speed Up the Interior Department’s Permit Process
By Sarah Okeson

Trump appointee Susan Combs who was paid up to almost $2.2 million by oil companies and who blocked federal protection for a tiny Texas lizard on oil fields, now wants to restructure our nation’s Interior Department to “result in improved permitting.”

Combs, the acting secretary for fish, wildlife and parks, told the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources that she wants to consolidate administration of the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

“As long as her industry pals make a profit, she won’t think twice about letting a species go extinct,” said Stephanie Kurose of the Center for Biological Diversity.

Combs, Trump’s nominee to be assistant secretary of the Interior, is just one of the grifters in the Trump administration.
