📰 News we're reading

• New Push to Expand Offshore Oil Drilling (freepress.org) — A past Suffolk County legislator from Holbrook appears in a key moment of Long Island’s long-running fight against offshore oil drilling, when he backed a reporter’s access to a Canadian rig visit. That history frames a new federal push to greatly expand offshore drilling, which critics say threatens coastal economies and environments from Long Island to California. The piece highlights past spills and ongoing political resistance.
