WHITTIER With the price of oil tickling $110 a barrel, the city has visions of striking it rich in black gold.
City officials said Wednesday they are looking into the possibility of drilling for oil on city-owned land in the Whittier hills.
If and officials emphasize that word drilling would not harm the hills, Whittier could receive additional money, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars every year.
We have a very promising thing for our community, Councilman Joe Vinatieri said. We have the opportunity to cement our revenue stream depending on how things pan out for a couple of generations to come.
Officials now are working with Matrix Oil Co., which already has oil wells on Honolulu Terrace Drive.

Lets hope they strike it rich.
