Richmond, VA (October 15, 2010) - On October 7, 2010 the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed an earlier district court decision authorizing construction of the I-66 Spot Improvement Project. This long delayed decision -- Green Party pro se Plaintiffs Audrey Clement and John Reeder had filed their appeal exactly five months earlier -- was expected. What was unexpected was the court's decision not to publish its opinion, as the courts are rarely at a loss for words in quashing environmental challenges, especially those involving road projects.
Arlington, VA (May 24, 2010) - On May 24, 2010, Audrey Clement, co-chair of the Green Party of Virginia, and John Reeder, convener of the Arlington Greens, filed a brief with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals challenging an April 30, 2010, federal district court decision dismissing their suit to stop the widening of I-66 inside the Beltway.
