Make no mistake, Florida’s absurdly unpopular governor is going to expand drilling for oil in Florida. Just wait….this is all only the beginning.
TALLAHASSEE “” Gov. Rick Scott found himself on both sides of the fence Tuesday when he told a Tallahassee audience that he supports oil drilling in the Everglades, then hours later issued a clarification that he didn’t mean “an expansion of drilling.”
Scott’s remarks to the Economics Club of Florida were prompted by an audience member who asked whether the governor agreed with Republican presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann’s call last week for oil drilling in the Everglades for “additional energy.”
