• Solana Beach approves resolution against offshore drilling (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Solana Beach’s City Council has unanimously passed a resolution opposing new offshore oil drilling, citing risks to local beaches and the city’s tourism economy. Councilmembers recalled past tar balls from distant spills and joined other regional governments in pushing back on a Trump administration leasing plan, while residents can still weigh in during a federal public comment period.
