LONG BEACH - A bill that would allow for additional onshore oil drilling in the Port of Long Beach and could potentially feed the cash-strapped city $130 million over 10 years cleared the state Assembly Sunday and headed to the governor's desk for his signature.
Assembly Bill 2165 passed the Assembly with 57-0 vote after a 38-1 vote in the Senate on Saturday. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger can sign or veto the bill or do nothing and allow it to pass.
The measure cleared the state Senate Saturday night after an intense lobbying effort by Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster, who traveled to Sacramento to speak on its behalf. Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, also backed the bill.

Just the other day Santa Barbara County supervisors voted to for more offshore drilling.
More hypocrisy of the Dems. Selling their precious “principles” for money.
If drilling and oil are so filthy, evil and hurtful to Mother Earth, they should be willing to cut spending to avoid this.
there’s a proposal to drill more wells in the baldwin hills,
near downtown.
but enviros are going bonkers!
cancer.
Drilling rights to Occidental Oil. Where have we heard that name before, and connected to what EX VP?
Oil extraction is such a filthy and deadly business. That's why nobody would ever want it in their own town. All those little oil wells everybody has in their back yards in Huntington Beach must have killed millions by now.
Cool! My wife works for the company, owned by Oxy, that runs the production. She will even busier :)
Al Gore and his commie mentors.
Huntington Beach was sparsely drilled compared to Signal Hill/Long Beach. All the oil fields I biked through as a kid are now covered in condos. The Environuts were screamin’ excessive ground subsidence back then.

Many a summer surfin’ there. Wish I had the access to and smarts to post Grandad’s fire dept photo’s of the 1920’s oil boom.
No reason to drill and wait when you can uncap and pump.
up here in SB I want them to start drilling. Heck it is paradise here and it would be great to see us contribute to the national security and reesources for Americans in America.
It is amazing what people can do when they get fed up!
Interesting graphic!
How things have changed!
I’ve never really studied the history and looked at the progression of how we got where we are today (other than the efforts by the enviro-whackos the last few decades). That could be very interesting.
