Flores Statement on Obamas Drilling Ban in Arctic and Atlantic

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C.U.S. Representative Bill Flores (R-Texas) released the following statement regarding President Obamas ban on offshore drilling in parts of the Arctic and Atlantic:

President Obamas continuing efforts to appease radical special interest groups in the waning days of his administration is beyond the pale. His recent actions to restrict access to energy exploration in the Arctic and Atlantic will impede energy development economic growth and job growth while putting our national security at risk. This overreaching midnight action will be reversed. As House Speaker Paul Ryan clearly stated yesterday Presidents dont write laws. Congress does. I will work with my fellow colleagues and President-elect Trump to overturn President Obamas energy-denier agenda. I remain committed to advancing a 21st century energy strategy to lower energy costs improve economic opportunity reduce geopolitical instability around the world and achieve American energy security.
