Lawmakers representing the South Coast pressed for answers on the
Refugio oil spill on Friday afternoon, but got few answers as oil
company officials gave no new details about the cause.
A joint oversight hearing was held on Friday in Santa Barbara between the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Select Committee on the Refugio Oil Spill, with state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assemblyman Das Williams conducting the hearing.
Jackson and Williams are each working on legislation in the wake of the spill, which occurred May 19 off Refugio State Beach.
Assemblyman Mark Stone of Santa Cruz and Monterrey counties was also on the dais. MORE
