Tuscaloosa, AL – It's been nearly two years since the disastrous Gulf oil spill threatened the five Gulf Coast states. Now the states are getting their day in court next Monday. Gulf Coast states including Alabama are claiming to have lost millions of dollars related to the 2010 oil spill and are suing BP and other parties involved for damages. Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange has been appointed coordinating counsel for the Gulf Coast states. Strange talked with Alabama Public Radio's Ryan Vasquez about the case and what he hopes the outcome will be.
