Exxon exemption denial urged by Younger attorney general
State Attorney General Evelle Younger’s office urged denial of Exxon Corp’s request for an exemption from a state coastal commission permit to develop an oil drilling complex in the western Santa Barbara Channel. The recommendation, presented to the South Central Coastal Commission for a public hearing in Santa Barbara, is expected to be adopted. Observers anticipate the panel will reject the exemption, while oil groups push for a crude onshore pipeline instead of tanker transport.
