Blumenthal Backs Lamont on Broadwater Issue

Attorney General Dick Blumenthal puts Joe Lieberman's collusion in the rape of Long Island Sound in harsh perspective.

State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal disputes claims by U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman's campaign that President Bush's energy bill "in no way hurt" Connecticut and New York's ability to keep a floating natural gas platform out of Long Island Sound.

"There are a number of areas that are still unclear, and the energy policy creates some of the doubts and questions as to the rights of states like Connecticut," Blumenthal said last week. He said the bill places states that deny energy company's permits for projects such as the gas platform at a significant disadvantage in federal court. ...

After the bill was signed in August, Blumenthal issued a statement calling it "a blank check to the energy industry" that strips states of authority over siting massive projects such as the 400-yard natural gas platform.

"The stakes for Connecticut are huge -- virtual emasculation of power over energy projects that impact our environment, economy and public health," he said at the time.

Joe Lieberman apparently doesn't think the rape of the Sound is any big deal. After all, it's just a short ride to another sound, right?
