MONTICELLO – Titus County’s biggest taxpayer Luminant Corp. is claiming in a suit against the county's appraisal district that its coal-fired power plant in Monticello is worth one-seventh of its $341 million appraised value - or approximately $50 million.
DALLAS – Lawyers for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently filed a brief in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals arguing that because of the national implications of Texas and Oklahoma's regional haze plans, including coal-fired power plant emissions drifting into neighboring areas and states, any challenges to its rulemaking in the matter should be heard in the D.C. Circuit.
