Marc Auerbach of Birkenfeld, Ore. says he’s tired of seeing his county officials bend backwards to please NorthernStar Natural Gas. The latest evidence of that is a new amendment passed by Clatsop County commissioners altering county law to allow NorthernStar’s Liquefied Natural Gas (L.N.G) pipeline to pass through an area zoned for a park and recreation site.
“The county is already bending backwards to accommodate NorthernStar. This is going too far for a lot of people here. Now we are willing to let them trench across our parks?” says Auerbach, chair of the Northwest Property Rights Group—one of the major backers of a referendum to get the amendment revoked.
