What can you buy for the cost of Ryan Zinke’s doors?
The Interior Secretary spent $139,000 on a set of doors for his office
Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke has been in hot water lately for his spending office.
Zinke has been wasting taxpayer dollars since Day One, using government helicopters as his personal taxis and booking private jets at taxpayer expense.
