Environment - Great Lakes compact; another BP appeal
Gitte Laasby, environmental reporter for the Gary Post-Tribune, has sent along two news items:
Late last night [July 3rd], the Pennsylvania Senate passed the Great Lakes Compact. The governor has said he plans to sign it. With that, the Compact is now headed for Congress, which still has to ratify it for it to become a reality.Also yesterday, environmentalists filed a state court appeal of BP's air operating permit. The previous three appeals are of the construction permit, and will be heard by a state environmental law judge. The info's in a brief in today's paper but not online.
