Company responsible for Refugio State Beach spill indicted

The State of California indicted Plains All-American Pipeline on 46 criminal charges related to last year's oil spill on Refugio State Beach. From The Los Angeles Times:

“This is the first step in holding Plains accountable, and we are committed to putting all the resources that are necessary into seeing this case through,” [State Attorney General Kamala] Harris said at a Santa Barbara news conference.

“In this state, we value our environment, we value our pristine coastal communities, we value the precious wildlife and the oceans that we are proud to call a big part of California. Anyone that violates the law … is going to be held accountable,” she said.
