 How can you have a discussion of regulatory issues of LNG without a perspective from the people being affected by the regulations? Oregonians are strongly affected by the potential devastation of their state’s natural and agricultural resources, as these many foregoing informed and concerned comments attest. Yet two of the participants speaking are concerned about regulatory issues from the perspective of how to manipulate them to proceed with LNG development. How was it decided to include a speaker from an industry newsletter and no one from the many citizens groups involved? We the people are affected by the question of state versus federal control in our backyards. Where is the Oregon in this OPB broadcast? I will be tuning in and hope the discussion will be broader than a discussion between industry and politicians.
