Suit Claims State Officials Ignored Anti-Pollution Laws

January 28th, 2008 by flanews

A lawsuit was filed Monday on behalf of a whistleblower from Florida�s Department of Environmental Protection. Lawyers for the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility filed the suit at the Leon County Courthouse. Tom White, a scientist for almost twenty years with Florida�s DEP, worked at the Port St. Lucie laboratory. White accuses state officials of ignoring anti-pollution laws and destroying records.

�The Federal Government will come down and mandate that certain standards are met within the water bodies that show on the impaired water body list,” said Danielle Joyce-Kelley, one of the lawyers representing White. “This hits all Floridians because Florida has to pay for the water clean up.�

White is seeking more than 100,000 dollars in missing wages and other damages.
