As the Teapot Dome scandal of Warren G. Harding’s presidency was one milestone in the history of American resource piracy, the tenure of Gale Norton as Secretary of the Interior is surely another. … Under Gale Norton’s leadership, the Department of Interior has become nothing less than a big box store for the mining, timber, oil, gas, and coal industries. As CEO, Norton has eliminated all rivals to give her corporate customers ‘low, low prices every day.’ Meanwhile, fish and wildlife and all the rest of us who need clean air and water underwrite the true cost.” (03/22/06)
