More environmental rules spur more lawsuits.
We thought there had to be a way to settle these things without all of the parties going to court. The solution we came up with was the institute. Ariz. McCain and Kolbe got Congress' imprimatur for the institute last year. The institute, with a staff of 14, claims it will have enough clients by then so it won't need any more cash from Uncle Sam. The institute's job is to mediate environmental lawsuits.
