3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 2018 Trump moves to vastly expand offshore drilling Plan draws opposition from governors By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Trump administration moved Thursday to vastly expand off- shore drilling from the Atlan- tic to the Arctic oceans with a plan that would open up federal waters off California for the first time in more than three decades. The new five-year drill- ing plan also could open new AP Photo/Mark J.

The proposal follows Trump’s executive order in April encour- aging more drilling rights in federal waters, part of the administration’s strategy to help the U.S. achieve “energy domi- nance” in the global market. By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian The Clatsop Community College Board on Thursday voted unanimously to add volunteer and real estate agent Andrea Mazzarella to their ranks. She was chosen over collegiate and K-12 food ser- vice specialist Tamra Taylor. Mazzarella is widely known through more than 20 years in the local service sector, including 15 as a bar- tender. She recently became an agent for John L. Scott Real Estate in Seaside. After Patrick Wingard announced his resignation from the col- lege board to take a position in Eugene, Mazzarella said a friend reached out to her about serving. “I’ve had a career shift, so now I actually have more time to volunteer, do things in the Mazzarella grew community,” she said up in Astoria, par- during an interview ticipated in the col- with the college board lege’s Upward Bound Thursday. college readiness Mazzarella has program as a high volunteered for local schooler, studied psy- groups including the chology and oil paint- Astoria Senior Cen- ing on campus and ter, The Healing Cir- Andrea cle serving childhood posed for sculpting Mazzarella victims of sexual classes.

Wingard defeated Pamela Mattson McDonald in May for a new four-year term on the college board. Mazzarella will complete the first two years of his term. She must then run for election in May to serve the final two years. Expires 1/12/18 The Clatsop County Dem- ocratic Central Committee and American Association of University Women are host- ing a meeting tonight about the benefits of Measure 101, the health care provider tax being voted on this month. The measure asks Ore- gon voters to affirm or over- turn more than $300 mil- lion in new, temporary taxes on hospitals and other health care providers over the next two years. The taxes were approved by the state Leg- islature, but referred to vot- ers after a signature-gath- ering effort by Republican state Reps. Julie Parrish of West Linn, Cedric Hayden of Roseburg and Sal Esquivel of Medford. Zinke announced the plan, saying that responsible devel- opment of offshore energy resources would boost jobs and economic security while pro- viding billions of dollars to fund conservation along U.S. coastlines. The five-year plan would open 90 percent of the nation’s offshore reserves to development by private companies, Zinke said, with 47 leases proposed off the nation’s coastlines from 2019 to 2024. Nineteen sales would be off Alaska, 12 in the Gulf of Mexico, nine in the Atlan- tic and seven in the Pacific, Clatsop College board adds Mazzarella Proponents arguing “yes” on the measure say the money is needed to avoid up to 350,000 low-income resi- dents potentially losing health care. Opponents arguing “no” claim the additional revenue is an unnecessary and unfair tax that could be funneled to things besides Medicaid. Ballots are due by 8 p.m. Jan. 23. County officials rec- ommend placing them in an official dropbox within two weeks of that date, rather than mailing. The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the Blue Scorcher Bakery & Cafe at 1493 Duane St. in Astoria. Speakers will include Erik Thorsen, CEO of Columbia Memorial Hos- pital, and Andy Davis, a data analyst for Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc. The Daily Astorian decades. While some lawmak- ers in those states support off- shore drilling, the plan drew immediate opposition from governors up and down the East Coast, including Republi- can Govs. Rick Scott of Flor- ida and Larry Hogan of Mary- land, who pressed President Donald Trump to withdraw their states from consideration. Democratic governors on both coasts blasted the plan. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called it “another federal assault on our environment” while California Gov. Jerry Brown vowed to block “this reckless, short-sighted action.” Gov. Kate Brown in Oregon and Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee also condemned the idea.
