GODFREY: I know that now. How do I know that?<br /><br />Because one of the two leading negotiators has a summer house there. So the notion that we didn't hear about Destin 24/7 for nine months and one day, that's a nonstarter. Mr. Fayard still has the house there. He still goes with his wife, Frances. I've never been invited, I probably never will be, but I know about Destin.<br /><br />Third --<br />Slide 35, please, Matthew.-- how were the zones developed? They were designed to reflect that as distance from the Gulf beaches increases, the possibility of economic damage due to the spill decreases.<br /><br />It's not only common sense; it's economic reality. That's just the reality. The further north you go, the further away from the beaches, the less impact.<br /><br />They were a product of arm's length negotiations informed by local experts. I didn't personally do the drive-arounds. We had people on our team, people on their team, and experts who did the drive-arounds. I think Mr. Rice went a couple of times because he kept arguing about this particular locality and that particular locality.<br /><br />Third, the experts have looked at it. They agree. These are experts with deep experience and from the region.<br /><br />Finally, they're the zones most likely to have been injured.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-41082181038000438942015-03-25T13:54:13.703-05:002015-03-25T13:54:13.703-05:00The zone layout definitely benefited the PSC membe...The zone layout definitely benefited the PSC members. Areas which were relatively unaffected, if at all, by the spill were gifted with Zone A and B. <br /><br />If you were planning a bachelor party in New Orleans in post-spill 2010, would the disaster prevent you from going to the strip clubs and bars on Bourbon? <br /><br />Attorneys who were in the trenches fighting for the people of the Gulf before the settlement was announced were also left out of the PSC if I recall?
