" Nope. This bill is not a tax. It is a spending bill. The tax or fine has already been set in law. The question is one of what to do with the money when it comes in. Besides, when did President Obama ever veto a tax? David wondering REGARDING:

I bet large parts of it will end up in some already rich politicians pocket and be handed out to their friends in the way of pet projects to benefit them rather than the public.

I guess they use it in the context that fits a political issue. ITS STILL A TAX or it could be a FINE/TAX. Maby Obama should veto this bill since its a TAX. Also everyone shold be aware that this BP TAX /FINE can be used any way the county desires even if it’s not BP related. They still look like a group of vulchers looking for a free bee. I believe this BP MONEY TAX/FINE should be saved and banked for future spill clean up. The next company with a large spill might just throw there hands up and not clean it up like BP has done. We’re lucky BP has done what they have done. I wonder why these republican tea party politicans call this a “water pollution fine” when it’s really A TAX IT’S REALLY A TAX!!!!!!!!!!

That money should go to the people who suffered from the oil spill on canoe creek. While it's nice to see some money coming into the area I can't help but be sickened at the rejoicing over any legislative bundle. If it can't pass on its own it shouldn't pass. Your right.

You have two choices...move or vote. As far as the ball park being so expensive, it's prices are not much different than going to the movies. Besides, baseball is our national pastime, and the park is beautiful. Give it a try, you just might enjoy it and put a smile on your face at the same time. @Bobby

On the beach where all those greedy people didn't want to pay property tax. You bet pink slip Rick Scott wants to be there but Im sure he's taking advantage of something bigger. I'm sure all that money there getting isn't going to be used anywhere except on the beach that most escambians never use. Maby that can find a way to use that money for all those people's home insurance or some way to not have the spend any of there hard earned money. Just think they can use the money to enhance things around the new ball park that city residents voted not to build but got built anyway and most low and moderate income people can't afford to go to. Maby build a giant parking garage by the civic center and ball park. Or use it for those elete city residents by taking the asphaltI off the old brick roads in the city. Just think add on the court house and build a big parking garage for all thoes employees next to it. Heven forbid they make parking easy for the public doing business there. Maby they will built them a mega deep water boat ramp for all those beach people on the beach. I know they won't build boat ramps on the rivers more north. Escambia residents will just keep using Santa Rosa County and Bawdlin County to access Perdido and Escambia River. Maby built more a bigger county office buildings in the city. Or buy some politicians property for investment. Just think build that giant parking garage on the beach wouldn't that look great or build that giant overpass they talked about that would look good too.
