Lower Columbia LNG: Action Alert CCBofC's 12-3-2008 Conduct
ACTION ALERT Co Commissioners!
From: lower_columbia@lists.onenw.org
Just when you think you've seen it all -
Remember September when the "Pipelines in Parks" Referendum received 8,252 NO votes from Clatsop Co citizens? (67% of the ballots cast!!)
On Wednesday, 3 of our elected County Commissioners did everything in their power to ignore the voice of the people on this issue and to avoid sending a letter to the OR Dept of Justice acknowledging the results of the referendum.
". . . We need only know whether the currently planned routing of this portion of the proposed pipeline is consistent with your comprehensive plans and land use regulations. . . " (Dept of Justice letter to Clatsop County Planning Dept., Oct. 10, 2008.)
Following 20 minutes of confused deliberation, the board refused to send the letter:
Hazen's opening questions: Did you talk with Bradwood about this? Do we know what their plans are?
Samuelson throughout the discussion: Can we table this? I'd like to table it myself. . . . This is Bradwood's Landings problem to solve. . . . I would move to table it.
Roberts: It's like there are missing gaps. I was unable to track what his (the county counsel who co-wrote the letter) involvement was. We are being asked to make a decision on something we don't have all the information on. (The commissioners info packet was received a week ago and the letter from DOJ was received 2 months ago.)
Patrick asked excellent questions of Ed Wegner, county staff, clarifying the issue.
Raichl remained silent during the discussion. (If you are interested in the transcript of the proceedings, email me.)
There is an excellent article in today's Daily Astorian, with a clear explanation of the issues.
