(Newport, OR) -- There are new questions about whether the Coast Guard and Homeland Security are serious about keeping a helicopter in Newport. Coast Guard Admiral Kevin Lunday sent a letter to Oregon's U.S. Senators saying the helicopter would stay in Newport, unless there were mechanical or personnel reasons to move it. The attorney for the Newport Fishermen's Wives and Lincoln County says the Coast Guard and Homeland Security still oppose the lawsuit. They've asked a judge to issue a preliminary injunction to guarantee the helicopter stays in Newport. He says their legal action is guided by what the administration does in court, "not what is said in the political arena."
