GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN IS STANDING ALONGSIDE WEST COAST LEADERS IN OPPOSITION OF OFFSHORE DRILLING. THE GOVERNORS OF CALIFORNIA, OREGON, AND WASHINGTON SENT A LETTER TO INTERIOR SECRETARY SALLY JEWEL YESTERDAY (THURS) TO PREVENT OIL DRILLING OFF THE COAST. THE ACTION FOLLOWS THE INTERIOR’S UPDATED PLAN FOR ITS OUTER SHELF OIL AND GAS LEASING PROGRAM. THE GOVERNORS WANT TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO WEST COAST LEASES IN THE NEW PLAN.
