Harris County Attorney Vince Ryan has filed suit against 10 companies involved in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, claiming the Texas country has suffered more than $23 million in economic losses due to that spill and should be compensated.
The suit claims the spill was a substantial contributing factor to the decline in tourist and business related activities in Harris County, causing it to lose significant revenue from hotel occupancy taxes and business personal property taxes, the plaintiff said in a complaint filed July 2 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston.
