The Vermilion Parish, LA, Police Jury Monday voted unanimously to stand against a lawsuit filed by Keith Stutes, district attorney for the 15th Judicial District on behalf of the parish against dozens of oil/natural gas companies for alleged coastal wetlands damage (see Daily GPI,July 29). “Hopefully, the district attorney respects the wishes of the elected officials and drops the lawsuit against industry,” said Louisiana Oil & Gas Association President Don Briggs.
