East Coast Republicans Slam Trump Administration’s Offshore Drilling Plan
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Gov. Rick Scott were among the first to criticize the proposal.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who introduced a bill last year to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency, tweeted that he was “100 percent opposed.”
In his own tweet, Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) called drilling off Florida’s coast “extremely alarming & unacceptable.”
“Our voice has been clear from start: we will not tolerate drilling near our coast,” he said.
In the sternest statement yet, Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) skewered the administration for its plans to include the Gulf of Mexico, where a BP rig lost control of an undersea well in 2010 and spilled 4 million barrels of crude oil.
“Not acceptable to include Gulf of Mexico off Florida’s coast!” he tweeted. “Zinke must reject plans to gut safety rules implemented after Deepwater Horizon disaster. Short memory = recipe for disaster.”

well Gaetz is a lunatic and he is only a rep from a lot of help from his Daddy, a Fl senator who was in charge of gerrymandering.
Trump only has only a goal , he is after the big money and money pals who are going to pay him big time for favors he has bestowed upon them.
