? Senate Looks to Shrink No-Drilling Zones [Miami Herald]
The amendment would renege on a compromise won by Florida lawmakers just three years ago and radically reduce no-drilling zones in the eastern Gulf of Mexico -- from 125 miles down to 10 miles off the Panhandle and from 235 miles down to 45 miles off Tampa. Sen. Bill Nelson vowed to fight the move with a filibuster if necessary.
