GIBINA, Slovenia (AP) — Slovenia on Wednesday began erecting a razor-wire fence along its border with Croatia to control the influx of migrants, as European and African leaders gathered in Malta to seek long-term solutions to the flow of people making their way across Europe.
A convoy of army trucks carrying the fence and bulldozers arrived in Veliki Obrez Wednesday morning, and soldiers began unwinding the spirals of wire and stretching them along the Slovenian side of the river Sutla that divides the two countries. Other units were later seen further southwest, near the town of Gibina, also stretching the spirals of wire and stacking them on top of each other.
STATE HOUSE — Dozens of Western Massachusetts residents piled into Gardner Auditorium on Tuesday morning to oppose a bill that would allow a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan to extend a gas pipeline in an area of protected conservation land of the rural town of Sandisfield.
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company LLC, a Kinder Morgan company, is seeking to add a 3.8-mile loop of 36-inch diameter pipe to one of Sandisfield's existing gas pipelines as part of its Connecticut Expansion Project.
