Chicago trump tower: judge finds it guilty on all counts for non-compliance of federal and state laws to protect wildlife

[butters]

these laws have been on the books since 2008; trump tower ignored them for years, blaming political motivations for charges against them. Let's not forget trump fully intends to roll back environmental protections if he gets his arse back into the White House.

After several years of litigation, a Cook County judge has found operations at Trump Tower violated state and federal environmental laws that protect the fish in the Chicago River, the Illinois attorney general’s office announced Wednesday.

“The Chicago River is one of our city’s most treasured natural resources, providing opportunities for recreation and commerce,” Attorney General Kwame Raoul said in a statement. “For years, Trump Tower failed to follow state and federal regulations that protect the health of the Chicago River and the balance of critical aquatic ecosystems therein. All entities — no matter who they are — must be held accountable when they willfully disregard our laws. I am pleased with this decision, and I am committed to continuing to vigorously enforce our environmental laws.”

In 2018, then-Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed a lawsuit alleging that Trump Tower’s cooling intake system drew so powerfully from the river that it trapped fish—killing thousands. At the time, the Trump Organization maintained that the allegations against it weren’t fair. “One can only conclude that this decision was motivated by politics,” it said in a statement to The Chicago Tribune. Now, Cook County Circuit Judge Thaddeus L. Wilson has found Trump Tower liable on all counts, writing that it “committed a continuing public nuisance through a series of failures to comply with state and federal law dating back to 2008.” A later hearing will determine what penalties the company will face.

At some point, even the most obstinate RWCJ imbeciles should accept that it IS all about DonOld’s criminality / scofflaw behavior, right???

Another judgment against Trump for being a lifelong criminal. And honestly, most of us DIDN'T see it coming. He's been able to skate on his crimes for decades. It's about time he faced some consequences for being a, well, lifelong criminal.

He has always ignored any law he didn't like. There is nothing surprising about this.

And you can bet his supporters will believe this is just a matter of blue states inventing regulations for their own sake because they hate business.

That one even sounds like bullshit.

Well you know how it works, Trump built an office building and some fish died so that's OBVIOUSLY all Trump's fault.

Chicago isn't particularly known for its wildlife. Rats and coyotes.
