New leader of Interior Dept.

You may or may not have heard that there's a new leader of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the federal agency charged with managing our national parks and lands and much of the nation's natural resources.

Dirk Kempthorne was appointed by President Bush this week to succeed retiring Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton.

Kempthorne is currently Idaho Governor, and seems a decent enough fellow with a good record of environmental stewardship.

It's an important job that requires a considerable balancing of priorities. Not an easy task, for sure, but one that matters a lot for all of us who care deeply about our parks and lands.
