Easley to Congress: Not in my backyard
From a news release sent out by Gov. Mike Easley's office today:
Gov. Mike Easley today urged the Navy to take into account the overwhelming local opposition to an outlying landing field and develop alternative proposals following receipt of a report from Judge Sidney S. Eagles on the activities of the OLF Study Group. Easley sent a letter to North Carolina’s congressional delegation and Secretary of the Navy Donald C. Winter, along with copies of the report from Eagles’ who chaired the study group. Winter is expected shortly to announce sites, possibly in Virginia and North Carolina, that the Navy wants to explore further for the training facility.

I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to get the sense this whole idea of having big, noisey, fuel-guzzling fighter jets land in environmentally sensitive and/or residential areas isn't popular with folks around here.

But building a massive port is?
And/or over-developing our economically-sensitive coastline?
Governor Sleasley is a hypocrite.
