Publicity blitz stirs NH refinery debate in Durham
A $17,000 publicity blitz by Olympic Oil Refineries to sway town and state decisions on a proposed Durham Point refinery has drawn opposition and shifted some lawmakers. A House committee backed local land use rights while opposing amendments to a refinery regulation bill and set to vote again. The campaign included eight page newspaper inserts and radio spots claiming a safe modern refinery.
