Special to El Rrun-Rrun
In the end - faced by at least two dozen speakers against the tax abatements for LNGs and salary hikes for the commissioners - the court flinched and tabled both.
The commissioners heard more than two dozen speakers tell them they neither wanted them to give Anova LNG, Common Infrastructure LLC and Anova LNG more than $300 million (100 percent) in tax abatements over 10 years or themselves hefty salary increases.
The was a loud cheer when the crowd was told the raises were "off the table" indefinitely.
There was a sizable number of extra security at the court indicating that that the court expected the turnout to be heavy and it was.
"This is your victory," said a speaker to heavy applause.
