"HELENA, Mont. — Four states are suing over the Trump administration’s decision to restart the sale of coal leases on federal lands.
The attorneys general of California, New Mexico, New York and Washington filed their lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Montana.
They say that the U.S. Interior Department’s reversal of the Obama administration’s moratorium on the federal coal leasing program was done without a review on whether it would be good for the environment or for taxpayers."
