Chatham County, NC Commissioners Vote to Fight Enbridge Pipe

Chatham County, North Carolina's Board of Commissioners last week unanimously passed a resolution opposing Enbridge Gas North Carolina's proposed 28-mile natural gas pipeline from Siler City to Moncure. This isn't a garden-variety "we don't like it" resolution. It authorizes the county to actively fight the project by challenging environmental permits, teaming up with like-minded groups, working the media, organizing residents, and coaching landowners on how to resist condemnation. In other words, a county government just signed itself up as a Big Green activist group, with taxpayers picking up the tab.
