“The federal government should take BP out of the claim process,” says Sink. “Then, the federal government should go to BP for the money.”

“The governor was already considering a special session this summer on ethics and accountability,” says Sink, “to prevent some oil man from flying into the capital in the dark of night and start spreading money around… which is what happened last session when the lawmakers pushed for offshore drilling.”

“BP is going to pay,” she says, “or we’re going to sue.”
