BP is one step closer to settling up its bill for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Today, the company and the Department of Justice completed negotiationsover the $20 billion escrow fund to compensate the spill’s victims for their losses, and BP made an initial $3 billion depositinto the account.
As one of our sister publications, The Florida Independent, is reporting, however, on the ground, affected businessesare still having a hard time navigating the claims process:
“„Many businesses in Florida continue to face delays, and their owners are still finding their pleas for cash met with requests for documentation. [...]
“„Jason Thomas of My-Way Seafood in Panacea says that business is down by thousands of dollars a week from last year, but no amount of documentation from his accountant seems to satisfy BP. On Friday, his colleague Debbie Logan returned from another fruitless three-hour trip to the claims office in nearby Crawfordville, frustrated by the lack of answers.
