Judge: IL A/G’s pollution suit v. Monsanto belongs in federal, not state court – Cook County Rercord

Raoul filed suit last year in Cook County Circuit Court against Monsanto and Solutia, alleging the companies for decades made and sold polychlorinated biphenyls (PDBs) that ended up contaminating creeks, rivers, lakes and beaches in Illinois and harming wildlife and other natural resources. Judge Robert Gettleman noted Raoul's 96-page complaint read "as much like a press release as it does a judicial pleading."
