Massachusetts $25 million spill cleanup fund eyed
A proposed $25 million liability fund funded by a one to two cent per barrel tax on imported oil would pay cleanup costs from oil spills in Massachusetts. The measure, backed by Environmental Affairs Secretary Evelyn Murphy and lawmakers, aims to shield citizens and coastal resources after incidents like the Argo Merchant spill. The bill awaits a favorable committee report, with support from Sen. George Rogers and Sen. William M. Bulger, while the oil industry may oppose it. The secretary proposed raising the fund ceiling to 25 million and extending claims filing to one year.
