Representative to discuss ideas, plans for BP oil spill settlement money

MADISON COUNTY, AL (WAFF) - State Representative Jim Patterson will be discussing possible uses for the much-talked about BP oil spill settlement money on Wednesday.

A news conference will be held at the Madison County Delegation Legislative Office in Huntsville on Wednesday to discuss possible uses for the money from the BP oil spill settlement.

This was the topic of much debate during the regular legislative session in Montgomery, but there was no final decision made.

Governor Robert Bentley has said that he may convene a special session that would include the BP oil spill settlement, but he has not made an official decision.
