The beach rental condo owners, restaurants, hotels, workers, charter boat captains, home builders, roofers, carpenters, mental health workers (to console those worried about the spill), and a host of other businesses have been reimbursed for their losses, real or imagined, and now BP is paying another $4.9 billion for economic development and yet the need and/or loss for this $4.9 billion hasn't been identified several years later? The economic damages have already been paid. This is a HUGE sum of money. Shouldn't this money be banked for future spills or future issues surrounding the Horizon spill? Instead, it will be wasted on pork belly projects. Such a shame. The beaches have been cleaned up.
