Spectra Pipeline in NJ

By Alan Ackerman

The Hudson Reporter received an article from an individual citizen expounding upon how everyone should be writing to the different government officials in opposition to the proposed Spectra pipeline.
 
The problem with the position taken by the writer is that the pipeline has to get to New York City and, as such, will likely be required to traverse a part of New Jersey, and in all likelihood, a part of Jersey City, in order to get to New York City.  The problems with this pipeline could be substantial for New Jersey in both the short and long run.  Clearly, one would hope that the local officials are taking a serious look at the situation in order to protect its citizens.

I received an e-mail from Councilman Steven Fulop. He informed us that Jersey City will be subjected to tremendous risks, with no rewards. Steve's interpretation towards this dangerous project holds a lot of truth. The people of Jersey City were always labeled and branded as expendable, totally disregarded and used as a disrespected fat cow, milked dry and used continually into life threatening situations for profit. Their purposes throughout the years were to be human tools to construct beneficial Palaces for the mass political world Jersey City sleaze, dishonesty fraud and kickbacks.

Our documented history proves this to be correct. Did you ever witness or observe this Administration to agree upon or offer any legal or legitimate protest, to anything that didn't increase their self serving personal reward?

Could there also be a possibility of private homes and businesses that would be offered unmercifully, as sacrificial lambs, to the altar of Spectra Energy, and confiscated in the name of 'Eminent Domain', which could not only benefit Spectra Energy but could also benefit members of this Administration.

Please if all possible try to attend the scheduled meeting by The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Wednesday, August 4th, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Ferris High School, 35 Colgate Street. Regularly check that this hasn't been canceled, changed or moved to a different location.
