Governor-Elect Rick Scott Issues Statement On Obama Administration’s Ban On Offshore Drilling In The Eastern Gulf Of Mexico. FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Statement from Governor-elect Scott: “The Obama Administration’s offshore drilling ban is yet another example of government regulation impeding economic growth. Florida is committed to pursuing energy independence, which is essential to national security. With sound policies in place, we could expand domestic drilling and eliminate our reliance on foreign oil. Furthermore, I am disappointed that the White House has chosen to unilaterally impose a policy that threatens job creation and economic growth in Florida without consulting our office.”
