Erin Brokovich is turning her sights on Brooklyn. More specifically, the environmental crusader who helped win a $333 million settlement for poisoned residents of Hinkley, CA is working with the law firm of Girardi & Keese on a class action suit filed by 11 residents of Greenpoint. The plaintiffs are calling to task ExxonMobil, Chevron and BP for ignoring the millions of gallons of oil that have allegedly seeped under their homes and into the water supply around Newton Creek. Brushing off the allegations, ExxonMobil spokesman Brian Dunphy said, “We really do take our environmental responsibilities very seriously.”
