Michigan's governor yesterday sharply criticized attempts to contain a large oil spill making its way down the Kalamazoo River after the company responsible for the spill said it had redoubled its efforts to clean up the mess.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm asked the federal government for more help, saying that resources being marshaled by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and Enbridge Inc. are "wholly inadequate."
Enbridge said it has been working to clean up the spill since its pipeline in southern Michigan broke Monday and leaked more than 800,000 gallons of oil into Talmadge Creek, which runs into the Kalamazoo River.
