Governor Newsom issues statement on Trump’s idiotic offshore oil drilling proposal

If Trump gets his way, coming to a beach near you soon!

SACRAMENTO — California Governor Gavin Newsom today issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s announcement proposing to open the California coast to offshore oil drilling:

Trump’s idiotic plan endangers our coastal economy and communities and hurts the well-being of Californians. This reckless attempt to sell out our coastline to his Big Oil donors is dead in the water. Californians remember the environmental and economic devastation of past oil spills. For decades, California has stood firm in our opposition to new offshore drilling, and nothing will change that. We will use every tool at our disposal to protect our coastline. It’s interesting that Donald’s proposal doesn’t include the waters off Mar-a-Lago.
