Just days after New York City decided to sue and divest from large oil companies, Mike Bonin of CD 11 and Paul Koretz of CD 5 introduced a motion today as a first step in the process of holding big oil responsible for the devastating and expensive effects of climate change. The motion requests the City Attorney report filing options back to the council. Finally, after years of the fossil fuel industry manipulating our economy for their own self interest, the public sector is finally starting to hold them accountable. They've been profiting at our expense for years now its time for them to pay the piper. Thank you council members Bonin and Koretz this is a great first step.
