DeSmog Mar 11, 2019 @ 15:57 Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo, a Democrat, squashed a letter by her own state health agency, which raised serious concerns about a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in a densely populated Providence neighborhood. Documents obtained by DeSmog show that last summer Raimondo nixed a letter by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) critical of National Grid’s Fields Point Liquefaction project right before it was to be submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). FERC approved the project three months later. “Sadly, I’m not surprised by this,” Monica Huertas, coordinator for No LNG in PVD, an umbrella group of various organizations and citizens who have been fighting the facility since 2014, told DeSmog. “She’s always said this is a federal matter and there was nothing she could do, but now we see that she could do something and that she was involved.”
