This is outrageous!
From ABC….
Eight days ago, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal ordered barges to begin vacuuming crude oil out of his state’s oil-soaked waters. Today, against the governor’s wishes, those barges sat idle, even as more oil flowed toward the Louisiana shore.
Towns along the coast are through waiting for the government’s help.
“It’s the most frustrating thing,” the Republican governor said today in Buras, La. “Literally, yesterday morning we found out that they were halting all of these barges.”
Why? The Coast Guard wanted to be sure everyone had a life vest. I kid you not.
The barges sat idle for more than a day but they have finally been allowed to get back to sucking oil.
