Pipeline secrets must end

Landowners in several Oregon counties are already dealing with the misleading statements and behaviors of the Palomar Pipeline surveyors and promoters, and the very real threat of eminent domain to take their property for the company's profits. Now, we in Clatsop County are getting the Palomar treatment.

Palomar's Henry Morse made an outrageous and blatantly false claim in The Daily Astorian's coverage of Palomar's closed meetings with county commissioners ("Rohne boycotts pipeline briefings," Jan. 14). Morse stated, "The pipeline is in no way dependent on Bradwood. We'll continue to build the east pipe." I cannot believe that Morse has the gall to make this claim publicly and to contradict his own company's stated intention.
