WV AG Fires New Warning Shot at New York Climate Law via NY Post

At the end of the last legislative session in December, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, an extremist liberal, signed into law a new climate bill forcing a short list of Big Oil companies to pay $75 billion in “recovery” assessments over the next 25 years for their alleged role in causing mythical global warming (see NY Gov. Hochul Goes Nuts: Signs Law Billing O&G Companies $75B). We outlined how the law is unconstitutional and illegal (see The Legal Case Against NY Law Taxing O&G $75B for Global Warming). In February, the Attorneys General for 22 states, led by the AG from West Virginia, filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging NY’s Climate Superfund Act (see WV Leads 22 States in Suing NY Over $75B Climate Superfund Law). WV AG J.B. McCuskey wants to remind Hochul and NY Democrats that he's coming for them. What better way to deliver a verbal slap across the face than with an op-ed in the New York Post!
