Wonder if things will change or if he'll stay the course? He worked with Alt and has to be well aware of the politics that caused Alt to leave. I don't think they'd hire someone who'd simply take Alt's ball and run with it without any changes.

This is going to be interesting.

Hopefully he'll continue with the basic plan and work to fix the little problems that've developed along the way. IMHO most of it could be fixed by managing in smaller units and discontinuing the ridiculous practice of managing private and public lands in the same way.
