From Rep. Jim Moran's office:
Congressman Jim Moran, Virginia Democrat, announced today that the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee has passed their annual spending bill containing $30 million for the EPA's Chesapeake Bay Restoration Program and will continue the moratorium on oil and gas drilling off-shore of the East and West U.S. coastlines...[...]
"Protecting the Commonwealth's coastline from the negative environmental impact of off-shore oil drilling ensures future generations will continue to enjoy these beautiful beaches. Sacrificing those pristine sands is not worth the limited output likely to result from such a wrong-headed endeavor."
Exactly right, thank you Jim Moran!!!
