FL REBELLION: COUNTY BUCKS BP/FEDS WILL USE ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO PROTECT DESTINJune 15, 2010
Spillfighters is thrilled to see the news that came out of Destin Florida yesterday. In what we hope to be the first of many such actions, the County Commissioners of Okaloosa voted unanimously to protect the water, land, and livelihoods of the people of Destin, even if it means breaking the law. Frustrated with the slow response from BP and the Feds, the county has put in place a local emergency management team that will handle planning and implementation on site. $200,000 has already been allocated towards preventing the oil from reaching the Choctawhatchee Bay. Spillfighters has been in touch with a representative of local business interests who may begin privately raising additional funds to further ensure that the pristine shores of Destin are not further marred by the so-far-unstoppable flow of crude oil. We hope that other counties and parishes look towards Destin's example and find their own ways to do what must be done, even if it violates current law. - spillfighter alert -
Okaloosa County isn't taking oil spill orders any more. County commissioners voted unanimously to give their emergency management team the power to take whatever action it deems necessary to prevent oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill from entering Choctawhatchee Bay through the East Pass... Commission chairman Wayne Harris said he and his fellow commissioners made their unanimous decision knowing full well they could be prosecuted for it.
