What are the odds that the evidence is old because regulators/the companies delayed discovery?
So if you read the article the court case actually ended 13 years ago, the judge just never ruled on it. So it’s not even that the evidence is old (I mean it is, but that’s clearly not the reason here). There was a delay in the actual ruling after the case concluded. Really really strange.
I guess somebody’s bribery check bounced.
love that justice goes so slowly for the wealthy that they get away with crimes because it took too long.
The filing said Oklahoma conservation officials have noted a steady decline in pollution. It credited improved wastewater treatment plants…
Who paid for those treatment plants? The taxpayers, I assume. Shut the fuck up and pay them back.
Frizzell had ordered the poultry companies and the state to reach an agreement on how to remedy the effects of the pollution.
Attorneys for the companies and the state attorney general each said in Thursday filings that mediation had failed.
I don’t see a state attorney general just giving up in this type of situation. So, the companies were so stubborn that they walked out of mediation, thereby violating a court order? And now they want to be rewarded with a dismissal? They can blow me.
I don’t see a state attorney general just giving up in this type of situation.
I see a campaign contribution in his future
That literally doesn't matter. I like how desperate this makes them look though.
