federal court ruled Monday against Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring’s attempt to hide information from a Washington, D.C., think tank seeking information about the state’s role in an attorney general-led climate crusade.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute sued Herring in 2018 for attempting to evade a Freedom of Information Act case seeking reasons why the Democratic attorney general denied requests for information confirming the state’s authority to hire privately funded lawyers.
CEI’s Chris Horner argued state law only allows assistant attorneys general to be paid through taxpayer expense
If I get this right, the Judge ruled on the State withholding FOIA requests about hiring lawyers paid for by others, not about the AG trying to sue oil companies and others over ‘climate-change’.
It’s a start, but goodness what legal hoops one must run thru.
Meanwhile the Mark Steyn Boondoggle drags on?
Bloomberg wouldn’t take a crap without figuring out how it will make him money so this stuff about him becoming a billionaire environmentalist is so much BS. Maybe it’s time somebody started having a look at how he (or his shell companies) would benefit by the groups he supports (including anti Trump PAC.s).
