Feinberg a Likely Choice to Oversee the Oil Spill Escrow Fund

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Ken Feinberg, who is currently handling the 9/11 First Responders’ Settlement, will likely be appointed as independent administrator of an oil-spill escrow fund.  I can’t say that I’m surprised.  As I watched last night’s presidential address on the oil spill and the promise of compensation, Ken Feinberg was the first person to come to mind and would be an excellent choice.
