Salt Lake City - Unconstitutional shakedown of Chevron oil
SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake City attorneys expect Chevron Corp. will quickly agree to a financial settlement related to last weekend's pipeline spill that dumped 33,000 gallons of crude oil into city waterways, a spokeswoman for Mayor Ralph Becker said Friday.
Becker has vowed to make Chevron pay for the cleanup, and the company has repeatedly pledged to cover the city's expenses, as well as damage or reimbursement claims from others. A deal could be announced next week, said Lisa Harrison Smith, the mayor's spokeswoman. "We won't be satisfied until it's done," she said. San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron believes an improbable series of events led to last Saturday's spill, which sent crude oil into pristine Red Butte Creek.
