A bill that would increase the liability cap for oil spills from the current $75 million to $10 billion was defeated Thursday by our own Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
Lisa maintains that anyone with a damages claim against an oil company for a spill can "go to court" to collect it.
That worked out real well in the Exxon Valdez case, didn't it, Lisa?
A couple of facts:
BP's profits are $93 million per day.
In her tenure as a US Senator (since 2004), Murkowski has received over $400 thousand from the oil and gas industry.
You can draw your own conclusions, but it sure appears "Lease A's" allegiance is to BP... not to Alaskans, or Americans everywhere.
Disgusting.

I just called Senator Murkowski’s office at 202-224-6665 and gave her a piece of my mind.
I told her answering machine that if the taxpayers get stuck with one dime for the cleanup and restoration of environment and businesses affected, she should take a mop and bucket and go down the the gulf to clean up the mess herself.
She is UNBELIEVABLE!!!
