Government Accountability & Oversight has filed a California Public Records Act suit against the Department of Justice to obtain public information that the DoJ has redacted in full or part, all pertaining to the state’s participation in the climate industry’s litigation campaign, its Plan B of “climate superfund” in the face of the former bogging down—requiring legislation unlikely to get…

GAO sees this LinkedIn post, which appears to be a failed letter to the editor, waving lots of hands to muddle and distract from Massachusetts’s unfolding energy crisis and defend that crisis’s principal author, the current Governor, former Attorney General and all-the-while climate-policy activist Maura Healey. This jeremiad, ostensibly railing against points made in a Wall Street Journal op-ed by…

It has been a busy time on the taxpayer-funded, green-group grant front. Today, the Environmental Protection Agency filed an appeal in the D.C. Circuit of a district court order that it unfreeze some of the billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to activists, financing the industry that was engaged with the Biden administration to advance an aligned agenda. This is very…

Amid reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is reconsidering the December 2009 “Endangerment Finding” regarding greenhouse gases,[1] a recanvassing of emails obtained in the infamous “Richard Windsor” Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought over a dozen years ago by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) against the Agency[2] leads to a troubling conclusion: the Obama EPA’s regulatory “finding” that greenhouse gases…

Following up on this post, GAO wondered whether the Bloomberg Family Foundation was also financing the Climate Superfund gambit. Records do show that the Foundation pours enormous sums into groups that are involved at some level with this latest stab at imposing punitive energy taxes. What most struck GAO, however, was just how furiously Bloomberg’s group charged back into the…

Following up on these GAO revelations, someone has pointed out to us a new IRS filing showing that the United Nations Foundation continues to staff U.S. state governments led by progressives to promote their aligned agenda. In 2023, these states included Colorado, Illinois, New Mexico, North Carolina (Gov. Cooper’s been eating with both hands), and of course Wisconsin. GAO has…

GAO is pleasantly surprised and will take a modest bow, following this report in today’s Washington Times. Putting aside any issues this presents to legislative counsel going forward, here’s wishing Rep. Fitzgerald, et al., good luck in doing their part to draw attention to this practice of donor-staffed law enforcement, which has now spread throughout state governments. Even Capitol Hill.

Last year, GAO filed a New Jersey OPRA suit for the contract (and disclosures) between the Garden State’s Attorney General and climate-plaintiffs’ law firm Sher Edling, LLP—some very basic details the plaintiffs seem to be very concerned about the public seeing, whatever the jurisdiction, after a few arrangements made their way into the public domain. GAO is pleased to report…
