Drilling Ban

June 24th, 2010 by flanews

There are renewed calls for a state ban on offshore oil drilling tonight… and a promise from an environmental group… that if the state legislature doesn’t act soon, it’s going straight to the voters. Talks of a special session to pass a constitutional ban on drilling in state waters quickly died this spring over a hold out in the House. Manley Fuller, president of Florida Wildlife Federation says Florida needs a ban with or without the state legislature.

“The best thing would be if the Florida legislature in special session would place a constitutional amendment prohibiting oil drilling in Florida waters before the voters in November,” said Fuller.

Fuller is also calling on BP to establish a trust fund to fuel the restoration of Florida’s estuaries and salt marshes for years to come.
