Response To Charlie Crist's Letter

On the same day that Florida Governor Charlie Crist's was written, there was an immediate response. U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke. “Today I signed a fishery disaster declaration for Florida for the same reasons I declared a fishery disaster in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama." Locke wrote. In less than a day he responded that there would be help and money set aside to help Florida's fisheries, from commercial all the way to recreational fisherman. A supplemental amount of $15 million for a backstop, and $5 million for economic assistance was the amount that was said to be available. I think that it is really great that this is being done, and the rapid response shows that proper people are in place. Now if we could only get that kind of efficiency to stop the oil spill?!
