In early October Clean Ocean Action along with elected
officials, environmental leaders, and concerned citizens launched the final
battle against Port Ambrose. Senator Beck and Assemblywoman Casagrande, both of
whom are leading the legislative charge in Trenton against Port Ambrose, spoke
strongly against Port Ambrose and the dangers it poses to our coast. Senator
Beck and Assemblywoman Casagrande are sponsors of resolution SR21/AR202
(respectively) opposing Port Ambrose and urging Governor Christie to veto the
project. Their resolutions raise the many concerns about the proposed facility,
including the environmental and safety impacts. The resolutions have
bi-partisan support and are continuing to gain traction in the Statehouse. Currently, there are 8 Senators co-sponsoring the
resolution, including Senators Connors, Bateman, Singer, Greenstein, Barnes,
Weinberg, Kean, and Whelan.
Also
at the press event, COA released the video of Governor Chris Christie vowing to
veto any LNG project off the Jersey Shore. The video is of the Governor on
Earth Day, April 22nd 2010, stating “as long as I am Governor I
will oppose any application for any type of liquefied natural gas project.”
You can view this video on the main page of our website: www.CleanOceanAction.org.
