BP Spill Prompts Look at Regulatory Agency
“The Gulf oil spill has given fresh urgency to calls to reform the MMS [Minerals Management Service], which has long been accused of having too cozy a relationship with Big Oil. But as the process of reform starts, new reports are revealing just how intertwined the MMS and Big Oil are – and how difficult it will be to separate one from the other.” (Christian Science Monitor, Thursday)
Imagine that: government regulators and business in a cozy relationship.
