Coop beats TVA in federal court

N&O: Court orders TVA cleanup

"I am pleased that the court ordered TVA to clean up the air pollution coming from its plants closest to North Carolina," Attorney General Roy Cooper said in an interview. "This will help our air, our health and our travel and tourism economy. All of our evidence showed that these four plants were doing the greatest damage to North Carolina."

Congrats to our AG on this environmental victory!

Also, the Daily Kos calls Coop "the [Democrats'] consensus top choice for the race."
