LOL... sticking it up their azz.

This is interesting. There is a high legal standard about what you say in bond offerings. If they truly believe in the risks that they SAY they believe in, then, isn’t it incumbent upon them to disclose them??

[ptsal]

Cities need to be fair and balanced in their communications with the public and business community. /s (smile)

[God luvs America]

il duetche deblasio is doing much the same- of course that jackass let 130,000 uber vehicles in NYC which just caused more clutter and congestion- i hoe they throw it back in his face...

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

If corrupt AG like those in NY and CA successfully sue big oil for “rising seas” then precedent is established to sue California governments for the same.

Presumably, all of these cities have converted all their vehicles including police cars, buses, service trucks, garbage trucks, fire engines and etc. to electric or human power (no horses due to PETA concerns). Also, no air travel for city employees, only electric trains. Electric power to be only derived from non-fossil fuel and non-nuclear sources.

Oh yeah, some animals are more equal than others.

Next up......New York city.

[freedumb2003]

Small town, self-important amateur politicians vs. $300/hr professional lawyers with unlimited research budgets and staffing.

Got my popcorn.

So, Cities, did you commit securities fraud or is your lawsuit baseless?

[deadrock]

Why does it have to be pleasurable for them?

definitely securities fraud, according to the 97% climate scientists consensus. And RICO fraud too.

[bar sin·is·ter]

LMAO.... priceless

If I where the oil companies I would STOP selling their products in Ca.!

If they truly believed it they'd stop issuing building permits, but then they would, gasp, be giving up revenue.

[hinckley buzzard]

Let’s be real— Exxon Mobil can afford to hire a lot better attorneys than the troglodytes can.

I believe I read just the other day that Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina, actually lives in Mexico and comes “home” for council meetings.

I hope they are forced to pay Big Oil’s legal bills when they lose.
