For those who might be interested, some Kinder Morgan links. Better now than later.
Robert, I just put together a Packet of the web sites you shared with us. Sent them to Janet Atkins, Joe Garrity, Ed Boner and Johnny Miller. Ask them familiarize themselves with who Kinder Morgan is and what we feel they have in store for us, if we do not act soon. Thank you

Complementing the above links, on the other side of the river…
Robert, Thanks for this information. I think? every time I find out something new about this five headed snake in our Port, it worries me more for this community. These OHPA commissioners who should be looking out for the best interest for Nassau county and this Island, are in the pocket of Kinder Morgan. For every job this Monster supplies to this county we will lose 20 in the Tourist industry. I’ve talked to many neighbors in Lakewood area, most no nothing about what’s going on. How do we get this message out to people. The Observer is one way but we are preaching to the choir. At one time, Janet and Aaron were going to have a Town Hall Meeting, but that was over the dirty air permit KM applied for for coal. They (KM) put that on hold, not withdrew it. Meeting never happened. I’ve told our commissioners and Janet Atkins office of my concerns. Janet and Joe Gerrity have confirmed. I’m not a conspiracy nut, But you don’t need to be a member if mensa to see what’s coming to this Island. This community, all of us need to stop this Conservative and Liberal. A fossil fuel terminal on this Island will be the demise of it.
Stumpjumper, Dec 9th is more critical for this community than ever before. Some wise person said ” All politics is local” that is truer than ever for this community. To my mind, we made a great choice by putting Ms. Lentz on the city commission. We have two empty seats left on the dais. Mr Poynter has served this community well in the past and he has been at every meeting concerning the ports ten year master plan. He understands all the issues involved with it. Mr. Corbett, my be a fine man, but he does’t have a clue and has not attended one Port meeting. I’ve said this before,For this community and our way of life on this Island the Port issues are the biggest crises since the Civil War. Everybody read as much as you can about Kinder Morgans operations. Robert Wagner posted several web sites, Please, all take the time to read them, discuss them with your neighbors, get the word out.
