(Berkeley, CA) – Assemblywoman Loni Hancock (D-East Bay), Chair of the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources, will hold a press conference on Thursday prior to her emergency oversight hearing on the oil spill in the San Francisco Bay.
“This oil spill is a wake up call for the Bay Area. For a spill of relatively small size, it has quickly spread out of control, impacting not only the waters and wildlife of the Bay, but also the Pacific Ocean and our coastal beaches. It is imperative that the Committee hold this hearing to evaluate the response to this spill so that we are better prepared for future events of potentially greater significance,” said Hancock.
