NOLA files mimic O&G lawsuit

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell filed a lawsuit late (5 p.m.) Friday afternoon (March 29) in Civil District Court against Entergy New Orleans, Chevron USA, ExxonMobil Pipeline Company and eight other oil and gas companies, demanding repair of damaged caused by exploration, production and pipeline construction activities in wetlands on the city’s eastern section. The lawsuit is similar to dozens of others filed against O&G firms by six Louisiana parishes. Those suits are pending before federal judges in New Orleans and Lafayette. (Source: NOLA.com 03/29/19)
