An Open Letter to a BP Representative

During a recent press conference BP representative Randy Prescott stated that “Louisiana isn’t the only place that has shrimp.”  This statement shows a blatant disregard for those who have worked hard to rebuild their lives after Hurricane Katrina.  Mr. Prescott’s contact information is posted below.  Given this improper statement by Mr. Prescott, I recommend that readers contact him and suggest that perhaps “BP isn’t the only place to buy gas.”

The following is my letter to Mr. Prescott:

Subject: Improper BP Statement Likely to Cause additional Loss

Mr. Prescott,

I’ve seen firsthand the impact of an environmental tragedy to the local economy when I was at the scene of the Valdez Oil Spill in 1989.  Within a year, businesses closed and families lost homes and jobs.  Your comment that “Louisiana isn’t the only place that has shrimp” slaps the folks down in Louisiana in the face.  Many throughout the gulf coast have worked hard amidst insurmountable obstacles to recoup their lives and build afresh.

I generally buy my gas from BP – not because it’s any better than anyone else’s; it’s just closer.  Yet, right nearby are at least two other stations.  I believe that there far too many today willing to throw a crass statement out there without any thought of the impact.  Given your disregard for the industries in the gulf coast, I now have a disregard for BP.

I truly hope that BP and supporting agencies can resolve this incident and the work can be started toward revitalization of the area.  I also hope that given the negative representation you’ve displayed toward the company that provides you an income, they will find that other employment opportunities would best suit you.
