North Dakota officials might finally spill details about oil spill

Grist: After discovering that the public, legislature, and governor were all kept in the dark for more than a week about a major oil spill on a North Dakota wheat farm, lawmakers wanted answers on Monday. But the state department that kept news of the 20,600-barrel spill to itself had more spin than answers. (The feds also withheld the information because they were being furloughed.) David Glatt, head of the environmental section of the North Dakota Health Department, defended his departments secrecy...

North Dakota Officials Took Nearly 2 Weeks to Go Public About Oil Spill
2013-10-15 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: When a pipeline rupture sent more than 20,000 barrels of crude spewing across a North Dakota wheat field, it took nearly two weeks for officials to tell the public about it. The break in a Tesoro Corp. pipeline happened in a remote area, and officials say no water was contaminated or wildlife hurt. But environmentalists are skeptical and say its an example of a boom industry operating too cozily with state regulators. It shows an attitude of our current state government and what they think of...
