The mayor of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, appearing Monday evening on CNN's "Campbell Brown," criticized the response to the oil spill disaster by both federal and state officials.

Part of Connie Moran's frustration comes from a tour she took this weekend off Horn Island, where she had heard reports of large oil streaks.

"Sure enough, about a 10-to-15-foot-wide strip of orange oil (was visible)," explained Moran. "We followed it for five miles long, as far as the eye could see," she told CNN's Brown.

"What we found so outrageous is that we were promised by the Unified Command (for the oil spill) that a situated mobile (unit) would have skimmers and vessels to meet this at the pass. First they would fight it in the Gulf and then they would meet it at the pass to prevent it from coming into the Sound and there was no boat there," said Moran.
