WASHINGTON (AP) A bitterly divided Senate late Thursday approved President Joe Biden’s choice to oversee vast government-owned lands in the West, despite Republican complaints that she is an "eco-terrorist.''
The Senate confirmed Tracy Stone-Manning as Bureau of Land Management director in a party-line vote Thursday, placing a former Earth First! activist involved in a 1989 tree-spiking plot in charge of managing vast swaths of Western lands.
