LNG Public Protection Act To Get Hearing
April 8th, 2009
HB 2015–the LNG Public Protection Act–which requires the state of Oregon to conduct a needs assessment prior to issuing any permits for LNG terminals will have a hearing on April 16th at 1:00 p.m. in the House Sustainability and Economic Development Committee.
There will be a limited time to testify, but if you can make it to Salem, a strong showing is always important.
If you can’t make it to Salem, below are the links to the Committee members.

It is interesting how our Legislature works. The hearing was held on the 16th as scheduled. The corporate executives representing the pro-LNG interests testified without any time restrictions and the scores of private citizens who took the day off work to attend the hearing and provide input were turned away. So much for our democratic process!
