Check out Boren’s contentious relationship with the forest service in the Sawtooth recreation area related to a questionable airstrip he has on his property and disagreements about a public right of way

The airstrip itself doesn’t seem to be that questionable as it was approved, but it looks like a zoning/use dispute.

I think a part of the problem was not that people disagreed, but that he went after the people who disagreed with them in a defamation lawsuit. Also there is a right of way on his property for a trail and he didn't want it. Maybe he won't be confirmed and they can pick someone else.

Seems the Idaho Supreme Court is allowing him to proceed with the defamation suit against those individuals.

“The allegations are sufficient to state a claim for defamation.”

If one is a fan of the Idaho legislature, its State Supreme Court bent, or the voting records of the Northern Rockies Congressional and Senate delegations regarding Public Lands things will be looking up...If not ???

I see few things so far coming from the new administrations' appointments that should be a comfort to average Federal employee.... Including these.
