Still paying his penance for Otter Creek, I see. As if we'll forget.
Still - this is the right thing to do and a big turn-around from this weekend's response by state officials to the victims of this accident ("call Exxon's help line").
Hell - if I were the Attorney General, I'd want someone from my staff down there taking notes and answering questions. Couldn't that help the state out in any future litigation?
But hey, that's just me.
