BP’s list of unpaid bills growing (VIDEO)

[Generic Other]

BP's list of unpaid bills is growing...not only does the company owe money to St. Bernard Parish, but two more contractors, as well, Loupe Construction and Consulting and TKO Catering. The parish says between the three, BP is behind at least $62 million.

Meantime, boat captains and supervisors working out of Plaquemines Parish for one of BP's largest contractors in the oil spill cleanup say they never got paid Friday, and it's the second time in a month.

DRC spokesperson Paula Pendarvis said the company will pay those workers when BP pays them. A source close to the contractor says DRC is owed $50 million for work already completed in Plaquemines Parish and $35 million in Jefferson Parish.

The men and women who've been charged with laying boom and vacuuming oil that got into marshland say the cleanup effort is far from over. "They have so much work out there. It's unbelievable," said Lane. Rocky Barrois of Venice said, "I found a big spot of oil on the beach we was cleaning up, and I was told by one of the safety inspectors to stop finding new oil that they had to put an end to this .. it was getting overwhelming."
