California, 15 other states, and five nonprofits sue EPA over waiver decision

The swarm of states, along with five nonprofit groups, filed suit last week in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The presumed shared feeling of the group, as stated by California Attorney General Jerry Brown: “The denial letter was shocking in its incoherence and utter failure to provide legal justification for the administrator’s unprecedented action.”
