Why was the Trump Tower sued?

Unauthorized drainage is harmful to biology, and Trump Tower is prosecuted.

The Trump International Hotel in Chicago has been in trouble recently. Because according to the report of Fortune magazine on June 5438+05, this hotel was accused of violating the city's clean water law and endangering the lives of fish and other aquatic organisms in Chicago's rivers.

According to the report, the building injects 20 million gallons of water into the cooling system every day and then discharges the water into the river. This wave of operation has caused the temperature to rise by about 35 degrees. This temperature change will do harm to fish and other wild animals.

It is reported that the cooling system of Trump Tower has indeed obtained the permission of the state government, but the permission expired more than a year ago, but the building is still operating this cooling system without a license.

Illinois Attorney General madigan, who filed a lawsuit, said in a statement: "Trump Tower obtains millions of gallons of water from the Chicago River every day without permission, regardless of the impact on the river ecosystem." "I filed a lawsuit to ensure that the Trump Tower cannot continue to violate the law."

It is reported that the two sides have informally discussed the solution. The representative of Trump Tower said in a statement: "We are disappointed that the Illinois Attorney General chose to file a lawsuit because these projects are generally handled at the administrative level. Therefore, people can only draw the conclusion that this decision has a political purpose. "
