The battle over climate lawfare in Maine is heating up.
State Representative William Tuell (R-East Machias) introduced LD 635 last month, a bill designed to put an end to Attorney General Aaron Frey’s frivolous lawsuit against major oil companies. [emphasis, links added]
The bill is as straightforward as it is necessary: it seeks to “direct the attorney general to drop the lawsuit filed against big oil companies concerning climate change.”
At its core, this legislation is about prioritizing Maine’s economic well-being over politically driven legal maneuvers.
