He Built an Airstrip on Protected Land. Now He's in Line to Lead the Forest Service.

4. He is a grifter and a thief.

I think it is his brother who made the airstrip, however….
He attacked trail workers with his helicopter
He is suing Stanley, Idaho residents for speaking out against him.
He bought property that he knew had a tax payer purchased right of way running through it and has been working ever since to take that property, as in stealing public land.
He purchased a property with a historical road though it to access Bowery Guard station and hot springs and thousands of acres of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and now has a padlocked gate across it. Again, the theft of public land.

If confirmed, he will have free rein to steal whatever he wants, to silence all who oppose his actions.
