TALLAHASSEE – Florida CFO Alex Sink today sent a letter to President Obama urging that he put his administration in full command of stopping the Deepwater Horizon oil leak and processing the claims for affected residents and businesses. CFO Sink also said she would also ask Governor Crist to schedule an emergency meeting of the Florida Cabinet to allow a forum for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke to provide Florida’s executive branch with a full briefing on the federal government’s plans to end this crisis.
“For too long we have relied on BP and its contractors to staunch the flow of oil, and they have failed us at every turn,” said CFO Sink. “We are now more than a month out from this disaster, and Floridians want to know: Where is the federal government’s leadership? By whatever standard one views this situation – environmental or economic – what’s clear is that we are all suffering due to the lack of a workable plan to stop the leak and take care of the residents and businesses that have been affected.”
