California sues US over forest plan
By NOAKI SCHWARTZ, Associated Press Writer Thu Feb 28, 6:58 PM ET
LOS ANGELES - California sued the U.S. Forest Service on Thursday for
adopting a management plan that would allow for the construction of roads
and oil drilling in the state's largest national forests.
The lawsuit, filed by the state attorney general's office in federal
court, claims the plan ignores a state moratorium on road construction in
pristine areas of national forests and asks for an injunction. The
California Resources Agency and California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection are also plaintiffs.
