Houston Chronicle by Jennifer Dlougy. The Obama administration ignored the wishes of coastal leaders when assembling a plan for offshore drilling near their shores, a group of Republican governors from Texas, Louisiana and other states says. In a letter to President Barack Obama Wednesday and obtained exclusively by Hearst Newspapers, the pro-drilling governors say they are "concerned about the lack of communication from the federal government on critical matters that affect our coastal development." (Note: The letter, among others, was signed by Alaska Governor Sean Parnell and Texas Governor Rick Perry – NGP Photos. HERE IS THE LETTER. -DH)
