Birmingham, AL – Birmingham environmental consultant Pat Byington is now suing the two men who filed a lawsuit to remove him from the state Environmental Management Commission. Byington filed the suit against George Oldroyd of Alabaster and Kirkland Byars of Vestavia Hills. The suit says both men filed their suit as part of a conspiracy with business interests to punish, disparage and intimidate Byington. That suit, by the way, is still pending. An attorney for Oldroyd and Byars did not respond to an Associated Press phone call seeking comment.
