Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has rejected a bill on Friday June 25, 2010, that would have required him to make public and to preserve all his office’s documents involving the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The wrote in his veto letter that, “This bill would allow BP and other parties with potential liability to the state to obtain information retained by any state agency responding to this tragic event.” He is concerned that the access could jeopardize the state’s position in seeking legal remedy for the spill’s damage.
