Bennet Backs Measure to Investigate BP Oil Spill

Washington -- Michael Bennet yesterday continued to fight for a meaningful and thorough investigation into the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.

Michael added his name as a cosponsor to legislation that would give subpoena power to a Presidential bipartisan commission so it would be able to carry out a comprehensive investigation.

"BP and other companies involved have a lot to answer for and must be held accountable for the mess they have created in the Gulf," Michael said.

The Denver Daily News has more on Michael's efforts:

"Michael Bennet yesterday cosponsored a bill to give subpoena power to a Presidential bipartisan commission to enhance its ability to conduct a thorough investigation into the oil spill that is devastating the Gulf Coast.

Legislation would ensure the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling created by President Obama on May 22nd has access to all the evidence it needs to undertake a complete investigation on the causes of the spill and make meaningful recommendations to help prevent similar disasters."
