Exxon settlement

A Democratic state senator and environmental groups cannot intervene in the state's $225 million settlement with Exxon Mobil over contaminated gas stations and other sites, a New Jersey judge ruled Friday.

A New Jersey judge approved a $225 million deal Tuesday between Gov. Chris Christie's administration and ExxonMobil over dozens of polluted sites and nearly 2,000 retail gas stations.

A $225 million settlement between the Christie administration and ExxonMobil is set to be discussed in front of a state judge.

A judge on Monday rejected an effort by environmental groups and a Democratic state senator to become a party to the state's pollution lawsuit against ExxonMobil, saying that they already had their chance to speak up over a proposed $225 million settlement.

Opponents are about to have their day in court in an attempt to derail New Jersey's proposed $225 million settlement with ExxonMobil.

A Democratic state senator is petitioning state Superior Court to intervene in the Christie administration's proposed settlement with ExxonMobil.
