Summary Governing reports on the battle of downwind states to get upwind states to fight air pollution. Air pollution, which does not respect state boundaries, has been the source of recent inter-state litigation. A meeting of state environmental commissioners in 1995 resulted in little more than political "horse trading," resulting in little change in actual emissions. If the current trend continues the issue could wind up before the Supreme Court.
