The US agency that regulates offshore drilling was broken up into three separate agencies Wednesday as part of a move to end cozy industry relationships exposed by the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, officials said.The shake-up came a day after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told lawmakers the Minerals Management Service, which issued lucrative offshore exploration leases and was also responsible for enforcing safety rules, needed to be cleaned up.
So now when oil companies want to pillage, they'll have to go through three agencies instead of one. They'll still get there, but more federal agents will get a chance to line their pockets.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
