Alabama Attorney General To Sue BP
Alabama Attorney General Troy King is jumping in line to sue BP over the Gulf Coast oil spill. King plans to seek tax revenue lost because of loss of tourism and business due to the spill, and to recover any state money spent on the cleanup.
The suit will be filed by Balch Bingham law firm, who will get up to 14 percent of whatever they are able to win for the state.
While there are some whisperings that it might be a little premature to file a lawsuit, King seems to be drawing mostly support.
King made the announcement at a news conference that aired on local news stations carried by DISH Network.
