Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy laid out his objections to the Broadwater liquid natural gas terminal in a meeting with Gov. Eliot Spitzer Tuesday and quoted Spitzer as saying he hadn't yet decided on whether to support the facility proposed for Long Island Sound.
"He listened intently and said he was looking to do an overall, comprehensive review of the area's energy needs before he comes to a decision," Levy said after meeting with Spitzer in Albany. The 15-minute session in Spitzer's office was to discuss a variety of topics, and Levy said they just "touched on" Broadwater. ...
Levy has contended that Suffolk County has jurisdiction as well under state law. He has said he would go to court to the stop the project if necessary and said Tuesday he would do so even if Spitzer, a fellow Democrat, supports Broadwater.
"I think the governor understands that we are going to be seeing eye-to-eye on many issues and that where we disagree I will have to vigorously defend Suffolk's interests," Levy said.
