This whole oil spill thing just plain sucks. Took a ride by Swifts beach this afternoon , and saw the telltale brown foam all along the beach, black oil all along the beach. No doubt the shell fishing in the whole area is ruined for the unforseeable future. I guess I can see my permit fee as a donation to the town! I 'd like to know if this company can be held liabe for the loss to private citizens also. Examples include ruined lobster pots , loss of privlage to harvest shellfish, permit fees etc ???? Are they gonna pay for my clams when I want them ? I realize that the big issue is the environmental impact, but these big oil haulers should be held responsible , a simple I'm sorry just doesn't cut it!
