Frustration against BP is hurting small business owners

Frustration towards BP in wake of oil spill

Above is a link to a video about on a case that I am working on that appeared on NECN on its 5pm new’s broadcast last night, June 4, 2010.  The focus of the news media has been how consumers are boycotting BP gas stations because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and BP’s handling of the cleanup.  The issues that  I am working on show the difficulty of the small business owners, and the effects that the public sentiment against BP is having on independent gas station owners.

There is also a link to an article published on June 4, 2010 in the Patriot Ledger and the Brockton Enterprise.
