Judge tosses Raging Grannies’ suit

The Raging Grannies’ attempts to stop coal and oil trains through Spokane has been derailed again.

A federal judge on Monday issued his written opinion dismissing a federal lawsuit that was attempting to overturn a federal law, which the group of citizens has argued gets in the way of local governments that want to institute laws to address concerns over global warming and ensuring the rights of citizens to have a livable climate.

The lawsuit brought by the Raging Grannies and others was filed after the group attempted through the initiative process to ban the trains/ Thomas Clouse , SR. More here.
