Courtney Ward reports for News10 that a coalition including gas and construction companies and labor unions filed a federal lawsuit on Oct. 12 to overturn New York's ban on natural gas lines in new buildings. This year’s New York state budget prohibits gas lines in new construction in smaller buildings by 2026 and in larger buildings by 2029 with some exceptions. Those filing the lawsuit say the new law is pre-empted by federal law, while supporters say it will help combat global warming. Read more about this story at the News10 website.
