The Hartford Courant reports that Connecticut officials have been informed that the New York State Department of State will object to Broadwater Energy’s federal consistency certification submitted under the CZMA, jeopardizing its application to construct and operate a floating LNG import terminal in Long Island Sound. According to the Courant, New York Secretary of State Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez notified her counterpart in Connecticut, Susan Bysiewicz, of the decision at 8:30 pm yesterday. Cortés-Vázquez will join New York Governor David Paterson (D) on Long Island to make the formal decision this afternoon.
