Up in smoke

You remember how AG Roy Cooper decided to sue the TVA over air pollution?

The joke at the time was this sort of law suit ate up some much paper that it was environmentally unfriendly itself.

Turns out, it isn’t cheap either.

The Council of State next week will consider shelling out $326,078.81 for legal fees, in addition to $158,258.94 already spent on the case.

Of course, there is an argument to be made that if North Carolina wins the case, it could be a boon to the economy and well worth the investment.
