Montgomery, AL – Gov. Bob Riley is hopeful that a deputy incident commander for Alabama will help speed up the response to the BP oil spill and cleanup efforts on the coast.
The Obama administration announced the plan for a deputy incident commander for Alabama, Mississippi and Florida.
Riley said Tuesday a deputy commander for Alabama may eliminate some of the bureaucratic logjam that has been experienced and streamline the response as oil and tar problems arise in coastal areas.
