Jindal blocks opening of records from oil spill

By Mike Hasten • Gannett Capital Bureau • June 27, 2010

BATON ROUGE -- Gov. Bobby Jindal's decision to veto legislation calling for transparency in the state's dealing with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is "the height of hypocrisy," says Sen. Robert Adley.

Adley, R-Benton, got overwhelming approval in the House and Senate to add that provision to another bill.

It was lauded by numerous lawmakers as a way show that Louisiana has nothing to hide in dealing with the spill.

But in a veto message issued late Friday, Jindal said the provision could damage the state's position in any legal battles because BP and other parties could see what the state is doing.

"The Deepwater Horizon incident is a man-made event with responsible parties that will create long-term challenges for the State of Louisiana," the governor's veto message says.
