New Haven Register - Blumenthal files formal objection to gas plant: "Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal filed a formal objection Friday with a New York agency responsible for issuing a key permit for a proposed liquefied natural gas facility in Long Island Sound.
In documents filed with the New York Office of General Services, Blumenthal argued the $700 million proposal to anchor an LNG facility near the middle of the Sound poses unacceptable risks for both New York and Connecticut.
'The project as proposed poses a direct and substantial threat to human health and safety and critical ecosystem resources of national importance in Long Island Sound,' Blumenthal said in filing the objection."
