Wyoming has joined 23 states in a lawsuit challenging Vermont's new Climate Superfund Act—officials say the law retroactively penalizes consumers and energy companies while targeting out-of-state firms.
The suit argues that Vermont overstepped by setting energy policy that could drive up prices and hurt production.
Columnist Tom Lubnau explains that Wyoming follows English common law, which gives government officials and employees immunity from lawsuits unless the state permits legal action.
He writes that proposals to remove immunity from police officers may force them to face personal liability—potentially shifting some costs to taxpayers.
