Notify the People of Louisiana immediately regarding all oil spills and leaks and mandate periodic updates by the oil company and the State of Louisiana on the status of clean up, as well as health and environmental effects of the spill.
Why is this important?
For 7 years, the Taylor Energy Company and the government of Louisiana have hidden from the general public the fact that a well 11 miles off the Louisiana coastline has been leaking steadily since 2004. A lawsuit was filed February 2012 in Federal District Court to make the company stop the leak, clean up the oil, and lift the veil of secrecy surrounding the spill.
