Supreme Court decision limiting scope of NEPA is interesting including liberal judges concurring. It rests agency discretion to decide whether to consider "upstream" and "downstream" effects in project scope. Read it! The case is a good overview of NEPA law!

Coastal Georgia's Sapelo Island is home to Gullah Geechee people. They fear a zoning ordinance allowing the construction of large homes would effectively push them off the island in favor of wealthy developers. At the Georgia Supreme Court today. Reporting by @currentlymary.bsky.social:
Sapelo referendum heads to Georgia Supreme Court - The Current
The Georgia Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Wednesday to decide whether or not to uphold a judge's decision that stopped a referendum on controversial zoning in McIntosh County.
