and yet... if there was quick, decisive action taken ANY TIME within the first .. oh... 35 days... the damage would have been MUCH less severe.
the extent of the damage is directly related to the lack of proper executive action.
It is criminal negligence on the part of the “executive.” If he had thrown everything we got and then some at the spill for mitigation...it would just be a horrible accident. But there is mounting evidence that, that was not done. In fact evidence is showing the exact opposite. He didn’t take the lead, and even now keeps trying to push that responsibility down the food chain. During a crisis you don’t do that and our environmental laws should be used to hold him accountable.
