Another Democratic city that does not but blame anything and everything for it's problems.
If they hate the oil companies so much, why doesn't the city consider banning gas stations?
Baltimore is one of the most violent cities on the face of the earth but yet it ignores the some of the worst crime on the face of the earth and decides to instead obsess and spent tremendous amounts of resources on filing lawsuits against not just 1 but 26 oil companies.

The Mayor of NYC, de Blasio filed a similar suit and was just laughed out of court about a week ago. The Judge wrote that the court can not legislate climate change from the bench and that it's up to Congress to do so. In addition, the court makes notice that the city of NY continues to benefit from oil companies by buying their product. Hopefully, this will set a precedent moving forward with the other worthless lawsuits. You never know how these things will go.
They are hoping some Liberal sympathetic jury will award them a few Billion $$ and all their problems will magically disappear.
What did that solve? Look around today, even though the tobacco industry had a billion dollar judgement against it, they are still doing fantastic, their profits are always going up, NO restrictions on access to tobacco was ever put in place, anyone 18 and over can go to basically any store and buy as much as they like, 7 days a week.
Not sure a judgement against big oil would be any different.
