A State District Judge Bob McGrath threw out a lawsuit that was trying to stop natural gas drilling at the Trinity Trees site. Read Mike Lee’s excellent report on this morning’s proceeding on the S-T Web site.
McGrath agreed with an argument made by a lawyer for the city that Melissa Kohout had no standing to sue, since she hadn’t been injured more than any other member of the public. “She’s merely a citizen,” Assistant City Attorney Ted Gorski said.
I guess it isn’t reasonable for “mere citizens” to expect the city to follow its own gas drilling ordinance.
