An oil company has withdrawn a lawsuit against San Benito County. In November, voters approved Measure J, which prohibits fracking and high-intensity oil extraction. Citadel Exploration sued the county for $1 billion, arguing that only the state can regulate gas drilling. On Friday, the company informed county officials that it is dropping the lawsuit. The board of supervisors had previously set up a legal defense fund to prepare for the suit. The fund may remain active in case other oil companies sue the county for losses.
