New Jersey has led a coalition of states and New York City in a lawsuit against the Trump administration over air pollution coming from other states.
New Jersey’s Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Wednesday alleging that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has failed to address the pollution that is coming from upwind states and hurting the residents in New Jersey and other state challengers. The suit claims that the pollution is coming from emissions from coal-burning power plants and other pollution sources in other states.
