Last week, New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman and “Green
20” — an attorney-general-led coalition seeking to limit climate change —
received yet another blow to their ongoing legal crusade against
ExxonMobil when New York acting supreme court justice Henry Zwack ruled
in favor of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a free-market
think tank that has received funding from ExxonMobil.
As a result of the ruling, Schneiderman must comply with CEI’s FOIA
request for the common-interest agreements made between his office and
other state attorneys general, as well as his agreements with
environmental activists. CEI believes that its FOIA request will reveal
evidence that the lawsuit is politically motivated. (Just days before
Zwack’s ruling, U.S. district judge Ed Kinkeade expressed concern to
this effect, and ordered Healey — and, potentially, Schneiderman — to
testify in Dallas on December 13.)
