Naturally coming on the heels of the Gulf event, this will be jumped on by all involved with both feet and there will be no lack of criticism regardless of who does what. If they had of had it cleaned up within 24 hours, the governor would complain that nobody consulted her on how to do it. A no win situation. I seriously doubt that anyone is deliberately dragging their heels on this, it's too high profile.
