The fight over offshore drilling is heating up.
Tuesday, Richmond-area Congressman Donald McEachin introduced legislation that would prevent exploration and drilling off the coasts of Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and Delaware.
Virginia Beach Congressman Scott Taylor has also publicly opposed a White House proposal to allow offshore drilling.
