Ask for more, opponents of the proposed Bradwood Landing liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving plant told Wahkiakum County commissioners on Tuesday.
County officials are negotiating with Bradwood Landing's parent company, an agreement to provide maritime security for LNG tankers headed to the proposed terminal.
Three weeks ago, the NorthernStar negotiator told Sheriff Dan Bardsley the company would withdraw from negotiations, but the following week, the company asked to resume negotiations, and Bardsley and Commissioner Lisa Marsyla met during the past week with the negotiator.
The company wants the sheriff's office to have an additional seven or eight deputies who would man patrol boats to escort loaded tankers enroute to the plant. NorthernStar has offered to pay the salaries of the officers, but Bardsley has told the company he wants more to cover related costs, and that, he has said, has been a sticking point in the negotiations.
