And just how wisely will this money be spent in esc. county? Wouldn’t bet my shirt on it being appropriated efficiently.
I like the last one $470,000 for professional services. It topped the list , You”ve gotta love BP. Would be interesting to see a breakdown of this item. It just might be legit.
@ least they recovered something and BP finally coverd something as well. It’s at something and not on the backs of the tax payer. Good report.
