Oil spill response meeting (2010)


Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, National Incident Commander for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response, attends a meeting May 27, 2010, with Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph regarding clean-up efforts on Fourchon Beach, in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in Port Fourchon, La. In the year since the Gulf oil spill, officials along the coast have gone on a spending spree with BP money, dropping tens of millions of dollars on gadgets, vehicles and gear _ much of which had little to do with the cleanup, an Associated Press investigation shows.
