Mayor Healy Calls On President Obama To Stop The Spectra Gas Pipeline. Cites Recent White House Decision To Halt Keystone XL Oil Pipeline In Midwest! Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy has sent a letter to President Barack Obama and Obama Administration officials urging the President to stop the proposed Spectra Energy natural gas pipeline intended for Jersey City. “We applaud your decision to delay consider- ation of the Keystone XL pipeline, and your commitment to further study of the project,” Mayor Healy writes in the letter. “For good reason, the Keystone XL proposal attracted your attention and required your response. But, we are writing you about another pro- posed pipeline – one far more insidious than even a 17-hundred-mile oil conduit that would cross the Midwest.” In his letter to President Obama, Mayor Healy cites the extreme, wide-ranging danger the “New Jersey-New York Expansion Project” presents, and asks that President Obama “shut this pipeline down now – long before it gets into the ground.” Read more.
