Zinke would have been better at the VA. Where does he have any experience in Interior responsibilities? As far as I am concerned, the federal government has no rights to any land in Alaska beyond military installations and post offices. Again, my book "Alaska's Rebellion" supplies the answer to Alaska's sovereignty. If you want to read a book, read mine.  I am reading Zinke's now. Certainly exciting but I doubt if it will become a best seller. Then again, neither will mine. We were promised access. We were and are screwed. Typical response by just about every Interior Secretary. They all think it is behind their back yard.
