Judge decides not to allow environmental groups to testify against Exxon settlement

2015-07-13 20:03:53| Chemicals - Topix.net

The environmental groups filed the request to testify before the judge in an effort to convince him not to approve the settlement, which is far lower than the $9 billion the state originally sought in natural resource damage claims related to nearly a century of pollution that damaged 1,800 acres of wetlands around two refineries in Bayonne and Linden once owned by the oil giant.
