The oil could be leaking all throughout our tourist season. Locals depend on earnings over these upcoming few months to live off the rest of the year.
I support this administration. At the same time, the response has been strangely low-key to me. This is a looming economic catastrophe for the Gulf Coast. Rear Adm. Mary Landry reads scripted, vague remarks with no real information. We've been tracking the information on the NOAA recovery web site about the incident; but right now the map with the current location of the slick is at least two days old.
I've heard many comments comparing the federal government's response to Katrina. And I can truly understand the frustration that leads to that type of comparison.
