BP denies Texas a cash advance for oil spill cleanup and Texas is not happy about it. Wasn't the congressman that bitched about the setup of this fund and called it a shakedown and felt the need to apologize to BP for it, from Texas?

Sounds like reasonable grounds for a rejection to me.
BP is responsible for considerable damages, obviously, but those claiming damages should have to justify their claims instead of expecting an arbitrary blank cheque as Texas requested.
There is considerable potential for fraud in this process and, for BP, the bill is already large enough without having to deal with that factor as well.
