BATON ROUGE — Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association (LMOGA) President Tommy Faucheux released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Plaquemines Parish should be removed to federal court.

“The Supreme Court made official what we’ve already known. These misguided lawsuits never belonged in state court,” said Faucheux, “Hopefully, the state will take this opportunity to bring these suits to an end so we can collectively focus on the energy opportunities that lie ahead for Louisiana.”

In January, Faucheux attended the Supreme Court oral arguments in Washington, DC.
