"Attorneys general from 11 states today filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a delay in Obama-era rules aimed at preventing accidents at chemical plants.
Led by New York, the states argue that U.S. EPA unlawfully exceeded its authority and endangered the public in issuing the nearly two-year delay.
Environmentalists and labor unions have already filed a lawsuit over the delay, which is part of a broader strategy under the Trump administration of bumping back compliance deadlines for Obama-era environmental rules."
