In an open letter to Kirby Corp. CEO David Grzebinski, Heitsuk Nation Chief Marilyn Slett called the fines “a drop in the bucket for a multi-billion dollar company.”
“We both know this sentence does not represent true justice,” wrote Slett.
“True justice would mean paying for an environmental impact assessment, admitting civil liability and working openly and honestly to address compensation and remediation for the harm caused by the spill.”
