We had thought perhaps that January might bring slow news for "casinos" claims. But the news just seems to keep on flowing. The big news today, of course, is that Mr. Kenneth Feinberg will be in Mississippi and Louisiana for a series of "town hall" meetings on Monday and Tuesday. These meetings were just announced Friday. One wonders from where the motivation came to schedule these meetings so suddenly. We must note that there has recently been a lot of interest and print in the national and international media about the Gulf Coast's distress. His reported agenda is so that he "can explain the three options people have to receive oil spill claims." These three options have already been clearly explained in gccf mailers and on the gccf website. Surely, he can't present any more information than has already been made widely available. Every concerned citizen should already be aware of the options. We are thinking that he wants to put out fires, ironically enough, by blowing smoke.
We do definitely endorse the three options. Interim Claims, particularly, have merit. We recommend every casino worker make an Interim Claim. Resolution of an Interim Claim should carry with it a Final Claim offer. Decisions on Final Claims can be made after the offer arrives.
