As it happens, Raygun was governor when the last blowout happened.

Can't find quotes, can't find where he asks Nixon to declare a disaster. Can't find pictures of him on the beach.
Doesn't mean he didn't do something; I just haven't found it.

Oh, well...

But in Santa Barbara, lights from the oil rigs still dot the night sky, a legacy in part attributed to Ronald Reagan’s time as governor of California. With tongues firmly in cheek, locals call them Ronald Reagan’s Christmas Trees.
