To The Eagle:
The article opposing the proposed LNG plant (The Eagle, 12/24/09) is the same old story, only the names have changed.
Had this group existed when the Wauna mill was proposed, they would have opposed it. If Crown Z or Weyerhauser applied for logging permits on public lands (or even their own land), they would have opposed it.
Most of these groups are made up of fairly new residents that have moved to the area because they love it and are determined to craft it into what they want it to be. I call these people "gotminers." They have just driven the last nail in their new house (income needs already set) and by God, more growth in the community should be stopped.
They cry safety while they drive their automobiles with a tank full of gasoline of which the tank thickness measures 1/32 of an inch thick. I suppose I may have started something here with tank safety in autos. Some people have too much time on their hands.
