Planned Pleasant Point LNG Facility Creates Tension Within Tribe

Posted on Nov 7, 2005 in Regas Terminals & Capacity, State and Local Issues | Comments Off

Passamaquoddy tribal elders are concerned that the planned Pleasant Point LNG facility has pitted members against each another. Last week’s lawsuit, filed by six Passamaquoddy members against the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of the Interior, was brought without the support of tribal leaders. The plaintiffs allege that a quick and clandestine land-lease agreement breached four federal laws. Friday’s Bangor Daily News has the detailed story. [Access to archived articles requires a fee.]
