JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A fight over how Mississippi officials should divide $750 million in compensation from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill will wait for another day.
House members passed two bills Wednesday intended as that body's spending plan. But representatives who say areas outside Mississippi's three coastal counties should get a substantial share of the economic damages being paid by BP PLC didn't immediately contest the proposals. They said they will press their case later.
