Declare "states' rights" & see Feds in court.
In related issue, several (I believe 14) barges were required to return to port for Coast Guard safety inspections. I caught Gov Jindal's sound bite during last night's local newscast. Alledgedly, CG checked fire extinguishers & verified adequate number of life vests were on each vessel. While away, thousands of gallons of crude oil further encroached on coastal marshes.
We in Louisiana need Fed dollars, then just get the hell out of the way. This mirrors FEMA problems after hurricanes.
