Zinke announced Tuesday that he wouldn’t allow offshore drilling in waters near Florida after meeting with Gov. Rick Scott (R) to discuss the governor’s objections to the policy.
“I support the governor’s position that Florida is unique and its coasts are heavily reliant on tourism as an economic driver,” he continued.
“As a result of discussion with Gov. Scott's [sic] and his leadership, I am removing Florida from consideration for any new oil and gas platforms.”
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) called on Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to remove the state from a planned offshore drilling expansion Tuesday after Zinke removed Florida from the proposed policy.
"California is also ‘unique’ & our ‘coasts are heavily reliant on tourism as an economic driver,’" Becerra tweeted. "Our ‘local and state voice’ is firmly opposed to any and all offshore drilling."
"If that's your standard, we, too, should be removed from your list. Immediately," the California official wrote.
