ECIL | The bills are just starting;
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government slapped BP with a $69 million bill
Thursday to cover initial costs of responding to the largest oil spill in U.S.
history. An angry President Barack Obama said he was convinced that BP has not
moved quickly enough to stop the flow of oil and clean up the mess.
And:
The $69 million tab being sent to BP is the first of what are likely to be many
bills sent to the oil company to cover expenses incurred by the government in
responding to the spill. A White House official said BP has until July 1 to pay
the bill. | |
