Mass. State Rep (Anti) Softens Opposition to NatGas Reliability Pipe

Over the past two years, MDN has told you about a tiny 2.1-mile looping pipeline segment proposed by Kinder Morgan’s Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), to be buried next to the existing TGP, to connect regions around Springfield, Massachusetts to receive more natural gas supplies. Springfield neighborhoods like Holyoke have an ongoing moratorium on hooking up new natgas customers unless/until more supply is provided (see Holyoke, Mass. Gas Moratorium Continues Due to No New Pipelines). Although most (all?) local and state politicians have made noises opposing the project, there is one local Democrat politician, State Rep. Carlos Gonzalez, who (using political doublespeak) appears to have flipped from opposition to support.
