Not that there was any great doubt about local attitudes on this, but the politically-minded now have statistics to go along with the general observation: On the Oregon coast, people do not want liquid natural case developments.

The measure came in Clatsop County (the Astoria area), where the votes are being counted tonight on a referendum. As the Astorian describes the measure, voters are asked “to change an ordinance to conditionally allow cable and pipelines to cross open spaces, parks and recreation areas. If the measure fails, cable and pipelines will only be allowed on land zoned for open space, parks and recreation if they serve an approved use, such as a golf course.”

Not all votes are in, but presently the referendum is failing 32.7%-67.3%. You can take that as an expression of attitude.
