Sanders Opposes NE Gas Pipeline

Imho - huge impact for my neck of the woods (Monadnock Region) of NH - southwest part of the state. "I believe the Northeast Energy Direct pipeline that would carry fracked natural gas for 400 miles through 17 communities is a bad idea--and should be opposed."

Also imho, the failure to stop this unpopular project by allegedly removing opponents from regulatory boards (among other reasons - a la the Syrian refugee decision) will be the reason NH Democratic Governor Maggie Hassan does not succeed in her campaign to unseat Republican Senator Kelley Ayotte.
