Message From: Sent: Subject: Governor's Press Office [Governor'sPressOffice@eog.myflorida.com] 1/4/2018 5:02:32 PM Governor Rick Scott's Statement on Trump Administration's Plan on Offshore Oil Drilling Good afternoon, Today, following media reports that the Trump Administration is expected to announce a plan for offshore oil drilling, Governor Scott released the following statement: "Based on media reports, it is likely that the Department of the Interior will consider Florida as a potential state for offshore oil drilling - which is something I oppose in Florida. I have already asked to immediately meet with Secretary Zinke to discuss the concerns I have with this plan and the crucial need to remove Florida from consideration. My top priority is to ensure that Florida's natural resources are protected, which is why I proposed $1.7 billion for the environment in this year's budget." - Governor Rick Scott Thanks, Governor Rick Scott's Press Office Sierra Club v.
