Grand Isle, La. -- Waves washed up on the shore as beach goers enjoyed the surf, sand and seafood the Gulf of Mexico provides.
The stretch of beach looked clean, but Jefferson Parish President John Young says you don't have to go far to find evidence of the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
"I get somewhat frustrated when I see these commercials and they're spending all this money saying everything's fine and we're going to make it right," says Young. "They haven't made it right yet."
Young spoke Friday to state lawmakers who are members of the Deepwater Horizon Claims oversight committee.
Since Judge Carl Barbier signed off on a preliminary settlement agreement in June, BP has paid out more than $67 million in claims on top of what the company already paid.
Pat Juneau is charge of the new claims center established by the court.
"What I've told people -- when in doubt, file the claim," he says. "We'll do the homework. It doesn't cost you a nickel to file the claim so when in doubt about your eligibility of a claim, we're encouraging people to do that."
Juneau says many more claims are eligible under the new program that weren't before the settlement. But members of the American Shrimp Processors Association say they're still being left out.
Dean Blanchard is a seafood distributor in Grand Isle.
"BP has given me $1.1 million, I got $1.5 million in credit to the fishermen just so they can try to stay afloat," says Blanchard. "I shouldn't be financing BP until they change their name to Blanchard Petroleum and give me 51 percent of their stock. I don't think I should be paying their bills, that's Mr. Juneau's job and he's not doing it."
State Representative Joe Harrison (R-Gray) worries there's not enough money set aside in the settlement for the future if there are long-term effects from the oil and dispersants.
"We're looking and requested in this committee reserve funding," Harrison says. "A reserve funding account that would assist us with the idea that if there is future damage to our market, that we can't market a product that's no longer there and for the health conditions that could potentially be affected with the people that are in contact with this, that we would have something there, that it's not a cut and dry thing."
Juneau says even more will be paid out in the next few months. But many people at the meeting in Grand Isle believe there's still a long way to go before BP truly makes it right.
Lawmakers want to hold more meetings across the state as the settlement process moves forward.
