VENICE, La (Reuters) - Louisiana's governor on Sunday criticized energy giant BP and U.S. federal authorities for failing to act fast enough to protect the state's coastlines from a massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The U.S. Coast Guard and BP failed to take decisions quickly enough and delayed supplying necessary clean-up equipment even as oil washed up onto the state's fragile marshland, said Governor Bobby Jindal, who said he was "frustrated" by the slow pace of the response.
