A new report from Toxics Targeting and NYPIRG found that oil and gas spills are not being properly cleaned up. The report focused on Exxon Mobil and its corporate predecessors, and looked at incidents dating back more than a century. Researched counted 3,500 spills that did not meet state clean-up standards. And now they want to see the situations properly resolved. With us to explain more are Walter Hang of Toxics Targeting and NYPIRG's Blair Horner.

From the Morning Memo:
Last year, for the first time in a long time, the highly energized and organized anti-fracking movement gathered in Albany on State of the State day to cheer – rather than jeer – Gov. Cuomo.
