Jordan Cove Protest at the State Capitol, Nov. 22

Those opposed to the proposed Jordan Cove Liquefied Natural Gas export terminal on Coos Bay’s North Spit took their protest to the State Capitol in Salem Thursday. Those attending, mostly wearing red, demanded Governor Kate Brown take a stand against the project. However, the Governor was not in her office, but reportedly did speak to some of the protestors by telephone. The group that organized the protest over social media “Southern Oregon Rising Tide,” says their effort will continue and they claim the Governor rejected their demand to oppose the Jordan Cove Project.
