Governor criticizes cleanup

July 29, 2010 by WLKM 

Michigan’s governor says efforts by the company responsible for a more than 800,000-gallon oil spill making its way down the Kalamazoo River are “wholly inadequate.”  Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s remarks Wednesday evening in a teleconference came as a state police official who conducted a flyover of the site said the oil had spread past a key point in the river upstream of Kalamazoo.  Tom Sands is deputy state director for emergency management and homeland security. He says he saw oil across Morrow Lake and a light sheen past a dam a few miles downstream from Battle Creek.  Earlier, Alberta-based Enbridge Inc. said it was doubling the number of workers sent to help contain and clean the spill.  (AP)
