How should St. Pete spend oil spill funding?

Over 11 years after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, St. Petersburg received an additional $1.063 million in settlement money; now, the city is trying to put it to good use.

On April 20, 2010, the drilling platform caught fire and eventually sank into the Gulf of Mexico, about 40 miles off the Louisiana coast. The tragedy resulted in 11 deaths and the largest marine oil spill in history. In addition to environmental damage that scientists say persists to this day, the disaster caused economic hardships for cities and residents along the Gulf Coast.
