"Florida is obviously unique," he said after a brief meeting with Gov. Rick Scott (R-Fla.). He explained in a statement that Florida's "coasts are heavily reliant on tourism as an economic driver."

As compared to California which has no tourism? Already, numerous other Governors are asking for their waivers and pointing out how important their coastlines are. Maybe the problem is Trump doesn't own land in their states?

if one didn't think there would be resistance, they were kidding themselves.....

watch who wins this battle.....like all the others, this engine is just getting 'crunked'....

do you honestly believe offshore drilling will have a negative impact on tourism???

the dippo's arguments are too funny.....we have methane leakage that is argued contributes to global warming.....so now the con argument shifts to a reduction in tourism when trying to capture a clean source is a problem.....

lmmfao.....
