Billy Nungesser: “We need somebody on the ground that can kick some butts and make this happen.”

But if we don't make some serious changes and a sense of urgency does not take hold here, we will lose this war, and it will be his fault.

We want to know everything. We want to know where is the money. We want to know why they're dragging their feet on the cleanup and why they're not giving us the assets they promised to leave here.

Absolutely not. The spots you saw, you don't have the thick oil. But when a bird gets a little bit of oil on its breast, it's like you punching a hole in a rubber boot. You're going to get pneumonia and die.

Instead of hiring P.R. people to talk about ballets on the water, if we just do the right thing, sit down and deploy every piece of equipment, there's something to hang your hat on.
