The Hill: A group of Senate Democrats is asking the Trump administration to extend the comment period for its controversial offshore drilling plan.
Sen. Maria Cantwell (Wash.), the top Democrat on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, led 22 colleagues in a Monday letter to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke seeking the extension.
Friday is the end of a two-month period during which the Interior Department is taking comments on its plan. The plan, released in January, floated drilling almost everywhere it could be legally allowed: along the entire Pacific, Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts, as well as all around Alaska, except Bristol Bay.
