A federal judge Wednesday indicated he will likely overturn Baltimore County?s second law aiming to derail a proposed liquefied natural gas plant at the Sparrows Point peninsula.
Judge Richard Bennett imposed a 10-day halt on a law adopted by the County Council Monday night that added LNG terminals to a list of banned facilities in the county?s Chesapeake Bay Critical Area. The ruling was the second recent victory for Virgina-based AES Corp. in Bennett?s courtroom after the judge overturned a county zoning law restricting LNG terminals to at least five miles from homes last month.
