From Bloomberg Businessweek : In his testimony yesterday, Hayward not only failed to convince lawmakers he was committed to making BP safer, he may have deepened suspicion of the company by repeatedly pleading ignorance to events that took place under his command, said Matt Eventoff, a partner at New Jersey communications firm, Princeton Public Speaking. “Mr. Any goodwill that the company bought back yesterday eroded today with his testimony.”.
