Center for Sustainable Economy v. U.S. Department of Treasury, Case Number 6:09-cv-848, U.S. District Court, New Mexico.
Center for Sustainable Economy is conducting research on the environmental and economic impacts of Vehicle Acquisitions Holdings LLC – the new General Motors Corporation – now a federal entity, as well as the $65 billion in federal support provided to the U.S. auto industry over the past year. In a July CSE filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Treasury that will help document Treasury’s role in management of the U.S. auto industry and the range of environmental impacts associated with GM facilities. Treasury refused to process the request until CSE agreed to pay fees for the documents, even though CSE requested a waiver of fees as a public interest non-profit organization. On September 1st, CSE environmental law fellow Steven Sugarman filed the complaint against Treasury alleging violation of the FOIA. The litigation is currently pending. Read:
