An environmental advocacy group announced Monday it is asking the Ohio Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling on the Lake Erie Bill of Rights initiative.

The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund said it will file a motion to reconsider the court’s declining to intervene and place the measure on Lucas County’s ballot this November. Justices released their decision Friday.
