So, very happy to note Jim Moeller, our 49th Dist W Vanc state rep, is 100% AGAINST siting an oil by rail terminal at Port of Vancouver - and in a very strong and unequivocal way to boot.
Im glad to hear it. Im chagrined that information to the contrary has been passed around town in a factual manner, when people (for reasons I dont know) are assuming Jim's for said terminal - VancouverRisingTide (main oil by rail opp group) among them. I apologize for egg on my face on this one, and Im proud to help CLARIFY Jim's stance on this issue.
However, all this passing around of assumptions and rumor as fact, + the glossing over of facts into opinions (as what happened when his staff relayed my 1st post querying WHAT Jim's oil stance was), isnt healthy in any way.
Folks, email chains and Facebook threads in no way convey information nearly as neatly as simple direct live communication - a phone call, a quick check-in. If Jim was in fact "quiet" on his Tesoro stance, he should speak up. Folks loudly trumpeting made-up opinions as fact should simmer down.
Anyhow, hoping to repair things a bit with Jim here, and glad of apology and amends from parties involved. Including myself.
Again, he's against oil by rail. Horses mouth etc. Im solidly with Jim this fall, + proud of it.
