Newsday reports that local politicians and activists expect the Broadwater LNG proposal to be an issue in New York’s upcoming presidential primary election. Though most expect the issue to play a relatively small role in the campaign, the issue may receive extra attention since two leading contenders, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani (R), have track records on the issue. In particular, a top aide to Sen. Clinton has since been hired by Broadwater LNG and Giuliani Associates, the former mayor’s security consulting firm, was retained by Broadwater to conduct a security analysis.
