U.S. may
pick Western
headquarters for
BLM in months
Washington
deputy fired
because of Proud
Boys apparel
DENVER (AP) — The
Trump administration says
it may pick a new West-
ern headquarters for the
nation’s largest land man-
agement agency in the next
six to eight months.
Susan Combs, a senior
adviser to Interior Secre-
tary Ryan Zinke, told a
Senate committee Thurs-
day that Zinke is commit-
ted to moving the Bureau
of Land Management
headquarters from Wash-
ington to the West. The
bureau is part of Zinke’s
department.
Combs offered no hints
about where the new head-
quarters will be.
The bureau manages
nearly 388,000 square
miles nationwide, and 99
percent is in 12 Western
states.
Many Western leaders
say the bureau’s headquar-
ters should be closer to the
land it manages. Zinke, a
former Montana congress-
man, agrees.
Some bureau veterans
question the plan, saying
the agency needs a pres-
ence in Washington.
VANCOUVER, Wash.
(AP) — The Clark County
Sheriff’s Office has fired
a deputy who was photo-
graphed wearing apparel
affiliated with the Proud
Boys, a far-right group
known for white national-
ist rhetoric.
The Columbian news-
paper reports Deputy Erin
Willey was let go Tues-
day after an internal inves-
tigation that began when
the office was shown a
photograph of her wear-
ing a hooded sweatshirt
with a logo that includes
a switchblade, lipstick and
an abbreviation for Proud
Boys’ Girls.
Willey is also shown
in a second photo-
graph shared on a Proud
Boys-affiliated
Twitter
page, which included her
contact information for
buying Proud Boys’ Girls
merchandise.
Willey did not return
the newspaper’s request
for comment.
Undersheriff
Mike
Cooke declined to discuss
the investigation, saying
it’s a personnel issue.
