Hope the check doesn't clear until after Jindal leaves office.

Louisiana will piss away that money. No bridges, no fixed roads, no $ towards education.
it's all going to end up in politicians pockets. god damn, our state is corrupt.

Your headline is wrong, BP settled with the US govt. for 18.6 billion. La. gets 8.6 billion of that. That number is broken down further in the article.
