The State will take the money and do what ever with it but you can rest assured they will not be paying any of the monies to the people who lost more than they did. And that is the business people. Notice it said lost revenue in the form of taxes. Well there has to be product sold to generate the taxes to include people going over the bridge to spend the money. Just saying the little guy gets it again. I am sure most of them do not have business interuption insurance to cover those losses as it is pretty spendy in the area fo Florida.

My husband and I said all along the ones who were going to get paid were the states. Now they will just waste the funds and it will never trickle down to the individuals who were really robed. The truth is tourism and sales would have never been the same this year anyway and that had nothing to do with BP or hardly, because that was just due to the bad economy brought on by banks and big business and letting stupid kids have bigger loans than they could possibly ever pay back, for bigger homes than they needed. ARRRGH! The big money machine just never stops. and there in lies the reason that the actual business owners who lost money and/or
