Florida Senator George LeMieux Cries Foul on Feds Failure to Clean Up Gulf
ByIn a video released yesterday, June 21, 2010, by The Shark Tank, Florida Senator George LeMieux accuses the Federal Government of failing to get available equipment to the Gulf region to clean-up the oil spill contaminating the Florida beaches.
According to the Senator LeMieux, during his interview,
“We only have 20 skimmers off the coast of Florida. We have 2000 skimmers in the United States. We haven’t even asked, as the Federal Government, for those skimmers to come to the Gulf.”
He went on to talk about how he had questioned the President about why these skimmers weren’t being deployed to the region and the President felt the skimmers needed to be in their current positions in case there is an oil spill in those areas. LeMieux made the point that this was like not being able to send a fire truck to your house burning down because another house may burn down.
Senator George LeMieux also discussed foreign offers,
“The Dutch has Super Skimmers they have been offering with Federal Government saying, no.”
