Biden administration backs city ordinance in pipeline suit
July 3, 2021 GMT
SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (AP) The Biden administration supported in court filings this week a South Portland air quality ordinance that has effectively prohibited the import of crude oil via a Canadian pipeline.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a 38-page legal brief with the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston arguing that federal law doesn’t preempt the city’s Clear Skies Ordinance, the Portland Press Herald reported Friday.
“We’re happy to see the Biden administration is supportive of our interpretation of the law and we’re allowed to regulate what is put into the air in South Portland,” Mayor Misha Pride said. “Federal law doesn’t supersede South Portland’s ordinance when it comes to enactment of the Clear Skies Ordinance.”
