Safety board blasts Tesoro
By Vicki Vaughan : February 26, 2014

SAN ANTONIO — A federal agency on Wednesday sharply criticized Tesoro Corp. for barring its investigators from continuing their investigation of a Feb. 12 accident that occurred at the company's Martinez, Calif., refinery.

In a letter to Tesoro CEO Gregory Goff, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board blasted the company for standing in the way its investigation, saying the company's action “creates a real concern that Tesoro may be trying to withhold other facts and issues from the agency.”

The letter was addressed to Tesoro CEO Gregory Goff and signed by safety board Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso.

Tesoro officials were not immediately available for comment Wednesday. Locally based Tesoro is an independent refiner and marketer.

1. Then threaten to send in the FBI, instead

Jeez, do we have to do all the thinking for this govt?

[oldhippie]

2. Is there probable cause to believe ......

.... that criminal activity as defined by federal statute has taken place? If so, then, yes, send in the FBI.

[Demeter]

3. I haven't noticed any need for probable cause for the FBI lately, oldhippie

not for Occupy and so forth, have you?

[oldhippie]

4. OK. Some of us like to follow ....

... the law and Constitutional procedures. Others, not so much.

5. There was an explosion. People died. Now there's Corporate Obstruction of the Investigation

How much more probable cause does one need? Especially when this would be a benefit to the nation and clean up a criminal enterprise?

They're shooting Americans with drones in Yemen for less.

I don't what country you want to live in, but I'd like mine to look out for me and my neighbors, even if they are thousands of miles away.

6. OK, if you say so

If that's the way you want the government to work, and don't care about the Constitution, fine. There are many here that think like you.

7. That IS how the Constitution works

It's just usually perverted so that the beneficiary is the oil company, not the people it injured.
