In today’s feature report, Mick Harrison, environmental and public interest lawyer, discusses the pending litigation regarding the I-69 project with EcoReport's Lucille Bertuccio. Harrison cites violations of the endangered species act, clean air act, and the national environmental policy act, as part of the legal case against the current highway expansion project. He says the fight is not over and reminds us about the successes of local grassroots environmental causes such as the prevention of a PCB incinerator in Bloomington in the Eighties.
