Beach Town Poised to Use Green Left’s Favorite Legal Strategy Against Massive Offshore Wind Project
Environmental groups have used “sue and settle” tactics — wherein plaintiffs sue an aligned administration to kill a disfavored project, which the aligned administration effectively does via settlement — for decades to impede infrastructure projects they oppose.
