Very interesting can we say conflict of interest maybe? Lets see Robert Bently takes no Salary. So is he paid by the Extraction Industry? He is also the Chairman for The Al. Recovery Council which is in charge of the BP fine money meant to restore the environment and economy of Mobile and Baldwin Co. So could that economic restoration in his mind be turning the Al. Gulf Coast into an oil and gas hub? Lets start connecting some of the dots on whats taking place shall we. Mr James Lyons Director of the Port of Mobile is Co Chair of the Recovery Council, did everyone know by June of this year CN and Arc terminals will importing, storing and exporting that Filthy Canadian Tar Sand Oil in and out of Mobile. There is also a pipeline in the works that not only goes under the Mobile River, but will travel 45 miles from 10 mile terminal to the Chevron refinery in Pascagoula Ms. Gulf Coast Asphalt is also in on this. I highly suggest everyone educate themselves by googleing Canadian Tar Sands if you don't know what it is. So South Alabama forget about the environment, clean water, or air, and if you have Beach front property in Baldwin Co? Your going to be looking out to a view of Gas Platforms if this Governor sells us out likes been done in southern La. We have learned that Oil and Tourism and Pristine Beaches don't Mix. What is more profitable? Tourism, or Black Gold? and who's pockets will all of this fall into? local 15 needs to do an indepth investigation If their Corporate sponsors will allow it?
