PA Antis Still Trying to Shake Down ME2 Pipe for Attorney Fees

In July 2018 three radical environmental groups dropped their objections to permits the Pennsylvania DEP previously granted for the Mariner East 2 Pipeline. Clean Air Council, Mountain Watershed Association, and THE Delaware Riverkeeper “settled” their appeal of 20 permits issued to Sunoco for the ME2 project (see Enviro Groups Back Down on Challenging DEP Permits for ME2 Pipe). After settling, the radicals demanded that Sunoco/Mariner East pay $228,246 in legal fees, even though the radicals are the ones who did the suing! Last month Commonwealth Court told the radicals to go pound sand (see ME2 Pipe Does NOT have to Pay Anti Attorneys in Lawsuit Settlement). The radicals are now petitioning the PA Supreme Court to hear the case and force ME2 to pay for sky-high attorney fees that the radicals chose to pursue!
