“I bet that it's at least five years away. I think the population here has a difficult task in balancing growth and what is beneficial for the environment, and I think a lot of people here are going to fight it until the very end.”

“I'm guessing they'll probably try to start before the November elections to avoid any interference by newly elected politicians. I think the people who are pushing for it will use the resources they have to start as soon as possible.”

“If they have all the permits they need, I'm not sure why they haven't started. I really wish they would just give up on it and find a better route. There are so many people who are opposed to it.”

“I'm hoping they never will. If people are smart about it, they should be able to file enough lawsuits to prevent it indefinitely.”
