Political Round-Up, January 2018

On Thursday, Jan. 4, President Donald Trump signed an executive order expanding offshore drilling in federal waters in the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. In response, State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara Jackson and Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, D-Torrance, reintroduced legislation (SB-834 and AB-1775, respectively) to ensure pipelines and other infrastructure can’t be built in California waters to support any new federal oil development.
