For more than twenty minutes Jody McCaffree locks horns with Coos County hearings officer and Portland land use attorney Andrew Stamp to defend property owners along the proposed Blue Ridge alternative pipeline route. This is one activist who knows her stuff and she deserves our gratitude and support. Stamp probably hobbled all the way home to Portland. The clip starts at [1:30:30]
Jody McCaffree protects Blue Ridge pipeline route landowners
A hearings officer has to listen, read the material submitted, and keep an open mind in order to make unbiased, fact-based decisions. The 23-minute video shows that Andrew Stamp fails all of that. He was interested only in telling Ms. McCaffree that she was wrong about every point she made… but each time it turned out that he was the one who was wrong, because he wasn’t listening and he hadn’t read all of the material McCaffree had submitted to him. When McCaffree tried to explain the law and the facts to him he would cut her off to tell her she was wrong. Don’t expect justice or even rational decisions from the county hearings officer. The people who picked him knew exactly what to expect. You don’t think so? Watch the whole 23 minutes.
We don’t get channel 14 in our DISH. I was surfing the Coos Media site and saw a few minutes of this meeting. Didn’t I see hey I’m 100% for LNG and the massive pipeline but don’t put the pipeline in my back yard near my cows former appointed commissioner Messerle? And, speaking of Messerle, how many years before the World paper tells us that lady Messerle is gone from SCDC and why?
Yup, Mr. Put It In Their Backyard testified.
