Las Brisas Permit Sent Back - A Victory for Clean Air!

On Monday, a district judge sent the Las Brisas air permit - which the TCEQ had passed against the recommendations of two administrative law judges, their own Office of Public Interest and numerous medical societies and scientists - back to the TCEQ for further review.  The judge basically said that worse-case scenarios had not been properly modeled in regards to proper technology to handle the plant's fuel, air quality standards and storage and transportation of the petroleum coke.

As a mother, I certainly feel that my children are safer today!  It's like the best Mothers' Day present ever!
