Kathleen Sgamma unceremoniously withdrew herself as President Trump’s nominee to run the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management on Thursday just before her confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Sgamma is the director of Western Energy Alliance, a Denver-based oil and gas trade group made up of over 300 companies. She has long advocated for the Interior Department’s BLM to focus on the expansion of oil and natural gas drilling, mining and for cattle to graze on public lands. It’s a match made in the Trump administration’s anti-preservation, anti-renewable resources heaven. So what went wrong?
