I wanted to vote NO on the LNG issue, but am too late. I had the horrible feeling that LNG proponents sat at computers and kept voting until they got a lead. Reasons being, they haven't been honest with us and desperately want the root of all evil with no thought of "we" locals and the environment that will be raped. NO LNG!

Dear Ray, the "we" are the "we" who live within commuting distance of the proposed unsightly factory that other communities have rejected and who will have an opportunity to apply for a few jobs. PLEASE, never lose sight of the fact that among Mr. Braddock's promises of 2004, all broken, was his promise to employ locals first. His latest promise is to hire "qualified" certified welders and electronics technicians for short term jobs. There are not many of those in Coos County. Enjoy paying your tax money to help out this $6 billion annual sales LNG developer Fort Chicago the parent of Jordan Cove Energy.

Perhaps the Fischers were using the royal 'we.' Or perhaps the Fischers work in Coos Bay/North Bend, or have friends and family that live in Coos Bay/North Bend. And besides, you don't have to live in an area to be concerned about what happens there.

Majority of this area know about this Lng SCAM & see very little to gain (A few extra tax dollars & a few jobs created that no local will qualify for), but alot to lose as safety, our beautiful coast, our clean air, 230 miles of Oregon land lost (Including 400 Oregon citizens directly affected to lose 80 foot wide section of their land), just so a rich foreign investor can get richer & so California can get the gas!
