A New Jersey state judge ruled on Monday that eight environmental groups and a New Jersey state senator cannot intervene to challenge the $225 million settlement with Exxon Mobil proposed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to end litigation lasting more than a decade and originally alleging more than $8 billion in natural resource damages. The environmental groups and New Jersey Senator Ray Lesniak sought to urge the court to reject the "sweetheart deal" between Exxon Mobil and Christie's administration and, if the court approved the settlement, to appeal the approval as a party to the litigation.
