Professor Carodine Says BP Oil Settlement Is A Win for Gulf Coast States

Professor Montre Carodine recently said on NPR’s “All Things Considered” that BP’s $18.7 billion settlement is a win for the states affected by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

“It’s a win for BP because they get to pay the amount out over time. It’s a win for the Gulf states because they will have a steady stream of income over that period of time,” Carodine said.
