The Florida House is prepared to vote on a measure that would allow the governor and Cabinet to approve oil drilling as close as three miles off Florida's coast, according to this article in the Miami Herald. Proponents claim that it could be worth to Florida $6 billion a year and create more than 16,000 jobs.
[Update: The Florida Senate promptly rejected the proposal, according to this article, also from the Miami Herald.]
