However the settlement will do very little to improve the lives of those who've been harmed. <br /><br />It will do very much to improve the lives of the lawyers who are representing the state attorney generals. And subsequently mountains of cash will kick back to the AG's. They will try to negotiate a portion of BP's "stream of gold" moving forward.<br /><br />Ever since the outrageous tobacco industry settlement which has provided an AG gravy train that's been driving for 20 years - they are on the lookout for more of these sweetheart deals. <br /><br />They can sell it off as "punishment" for the accident, but the public never realizes that the bill is pushed back on them directly and all the money goes to those sitting at the negotiating table....<br /><br />JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
