No... Seriously. They're killing the fish.
A judge in Chicago has ruled that the Trump building in downtown Chicago is in violation of various ordinances and environmental statutes because its air conditioning system pulls in 20 million gallons of water daily from the Chicago River to use for cooling, discharges that water back into the river at higher temps and is thus killing fish in the river.
chicago.suntimes.com - Trump tower ruled public nuisance kwame raoul friends chicago river sierra club fishThe building at 401 N. Wabash Ave. operates without a proper state environmental permit, does not accurately report water discharge levels and violates at least three other laws, according to the lawsuit.
Wilson found that those facts are "well founded" and "not materially challenged."
The judge said in an order Monday that the Trump Tower "has created and continues to create a a public nuisance in violation of Illinois law," and the intake system operates "in a manner that substantially and unreasonably interferes with the public right to fish and otherwise recreate in the Chicago River."It would be a fascinating exercise to see if it is possible to locate any Trump property or business operation that can be shown to NOT be in violation of existing labor laws, environmental laws, or contractual terms.
WTH
