      • Joe Mizell Thats right Jo, and I am just hoping and praying that you can hold Bp accountable for this tragedy. The wetlands, animals, birds fish that are affected by this is unbelievable. I hope everyone at BP can live with themselves.

      • Roger Bull Jo, view the movie "Crude," made in the 1990s about Texaco's oil production operations in Equidor. Forget the legal matters. Look at the skin diseases and the 1000% increase in the cancer rate that was documented. Do we have that to suffer? Do not allow BP or any other corporation to renege on their responsibilities.

        Jo, you say that “Alabama and other Gulf oil drilling states need this money now to help offset the negative impact of the spill as well as to pay for response efforts and to limit potential damage from future oil spills.
        BP should be payin...g, not the royalties to offset their lack of payment - it should be on top of what they owe the Gulf Coast!!!!!!!See More

      • Rhonda Puryear I'm wondering why some of the $787 billion economic stimulus money can't be brought to Baldwin County. Finding a job before the oil spill was bad enough but now it's impossible.
