Ryan Zinke

This is one area where Maria Cantwell and I can work together.

I support getting to a conclusion on this.

the Administration has put forth a legislative proposal to address the backlog

something that Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, has outlined as a priority

We need to address the backlog in maintenance.

we're going to go into consultation, as we should, and it's really up to the tribes whether they're going to participate or not, and I respect sovereignty

I have no intention of changing the policy on such things.
