PLAIN TRUTH? Wondering when — or if — the Santa Barbara District Attorney will file charges against the Texans who greased our beaches, I joined a media horde at Refugio State Beach when California Attorney General Kamala Harris paid a photo-op visit last week.
AG Harris, who just happens to be running for U.S. Senate, was accompanied by a large contingent of Plains All American Pipeline rent-a-cops, her own PR flacks, and various State Parks people, and at least one Coast Guardsman.
While Harris got the spill tour, we media folks were not only outnumbered but penned up on the pavement out of sight of both the May 19 spill site and the ruptured pipeline way uphill across the freeway.
