THURSDAY, MAY 30, 2002 In a politically and environmentally popular move, the Bush administration on Wednesday announced plans to halt drilling in the Everglades and off the shores of Florida. The $235 million deal involves buying existing drilling rights on public lands. The government will spend $115 million on coal and gas leases off the Florida Panhandle. The government will also pay a wealthy family $120 million for existing rights in the Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge and Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. This deal needs Congressional approval. Get the Story:
