Earlier this week, a Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled Senator Andrew E. Dinniman lacks the legal standing to challenge the construction and operation of Sunoco’s contentious Mariner East pipeline system, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The court ordered the Public Utility Commission to dismiss Sen. Dinniman’s complaint, ruling lacked both personal and legislative standing to challenge the project. Furthermore, it ordered the PUC to dissolve an interim emergency injunction blocking construction of parts of the pipeline.
Dinniman, a Democrat from Chester County, has battled Sunoco Pipeline LP over its 350-mile pipeline project.
