Just when I thought there was a chance that the majority of the Clatsop County planning commissioners might forsake being dodos ...After reading today's article in The Daily Astorian about the commission's preliminary approval of NorthernStar's Bradwood Landing LNG plans, any hope of the majority of them having anything more than a "geranium in the cranium" became moot.
Worse yet, the dodos have morphed into ostriches. They have planted their thoughtless little heads firmly up their asses. Is it possible they were forward-thinking enough to realize there won't be any decent ground left in Clifton or Bradwood to bury their heads in once LNG moves in?
However ... thanks and appreciation should be bestowed on the three commissioners who showed common sense and care for the future of the river, its surrounding communities, and future generations. It is regretful they are outnumbered by morons.
I digress. Has anyone thought about why the sudden change of heart for those who recklessly approved moving forward with this project? It's so fishy the salmon would hold their noses if they could. Yet they must simply be naive rubes. Nobody wants to think their palms have been crossed with silver.
Some otherwise sensible people think LNG is going to be a good thing. Have they ever been to Clifton? Putting an LNG facility in there is like hawking a big one, and spitting it smack in Mother Nature's face.
Right now, those big ol' corporate stiffs at NorthernStar must be shooting their cuffs and laughing their asses off about how well they're progressing on the "Stickin' it to the Hicks" project.
It's more than embarrasing. It's a fucking shame.

Well stated. I'm still shaking my head over it. It makes me wonder what their vision is for Clatsop County. We should give them an all expense paid trip to Newark, NJ.
And make them STAY there.
