A5 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2018 Trump threatens government shutdown over border wall By MATTHEW DALY and CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press WASHINGTON — Arguing heatedly in public with Democratic leaders, President Donald Trump threatened repeatedly today to shut down the govern- ment if Congress doesn’t provide the money he says is needed to build a wall at the Mexican border. Trump’s comments came as he opened a con- tentious meeting with Dem- ocratic Senate and House leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, with the government looking at a possible partial shutdown on Dec. 21 when fund- ing for some agencies will expire. In his fi rst encounter with the newly empowered Democrats after their mid- term victories in the House, Trump heckled the leaders as they said legislation to keep the government open and provide additional bor- der security could pass both houses of Congress. Pre- viewing what is expected to be a tense relationship in the new year, the group squabbled on national TV in the Oval Offi ce as Trump said major wall funding was vital. “If we don’t get what we want, one way or the other, whether it’s through you, through military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the govern- ment,” Trump said. “I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down.” Barely a half hour passed before the Demo- crats had exited a private AP Photo/Evan Vucci President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence meet with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., left, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., not shown. meeting with the president, issuing stern warnings. “This Trump shutdown, this temper tantrum that he seems to throw, will not get him his wall and will hurt a lot of people,” said Schumer. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan acknowledged today that the GOP-led House has yet to pass legislation that includes the $5 billion in border wall funds that Trump has been request- ing. The reality is he likely lacks the votes from his Republicans who will lose their majority at the end of the month. Trump is seeking far more for his long-stalled border wall than the $1.6 billion the Senate has agreed to for border secu- rity, including physical bar- riers and technology along the U.S. southern border The public Oval Offi ce meeting between Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and the Democrats began civilly, with Trump noting progress for criminal jus- tice legislation in the Sen- ate. But the session quickly unraveled as he mentioned his promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Said Trump with a smile: “And then we have the easy one, the wall. That will be the easiest of all, what do you think Chuck?” Schumer shot back sternly: “It’s called funding the government.” Constantly interrupting, Trump squabbled with the Democrats over whether wall funding could be approved in the House or Senate without Democratic votes. When Pelosi said he did not have support in the House, Trump interjected: “Nancy, I do.” Pelosi later said: “This has spiraled downwards.” After Pelosi and Schumer noted Democratic success in the midterm elections, the president asked whether Republicans had won the Senate in the November election. “When the president brags he has won North Dakota and Indiana, he’s in real trouble,” retorted Schumer with a smile. Oregon Department of Environmental Quality The Army Corps of Engineers added riprap in the area of bank erosion along the shore of the Tongue Point landfi ll to prevent seepage of contaminants into the Columbia River. Landfi ll: There is not much chance of the property ever being developed Continued from Page A1 maintenance of the site over the next 30 years is expected to cost nearly $1.3 million. Mirek Towster, a proj- ect manager with the Corps , said the cleanup is now largely in the long-term monitoring phase, aside from some underground storage tanks and pipes that still need to be addressed in future projects. “We do inspect and maintain it, potentially in perpetuity,” he said. New life To the north of the land- fi ll, Hyak Maritime is devel- oping a boat repair and fab- rication facility. Marine contractor Bergerson Con- struction recently relocated from the central waterfront and has fi lled the area just north of the landfi ll with its equipment. The deed restrictions signed between the Corps and the state tightly con- trol access to the former landfi ll and limit any use that would endanger the cleanup. There is not much chance of the property ever being developed, unless the government decides to dig up and remove all the bur- ied contaminants, Towster said. Much like a Superfund cleanup overseen by the U.S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency, the state Department of Environ- mental Quality provides secondary oversight, said Laura Gleim, a spokes- woman for the department. The landfi ll is one of several former defense sites that have been cleaned up around the region, includ- ing two active and fi ve inactive sites at Tongue Point used for munitions, ship berthings, arms test- ing, underground storage tanks and other vestiges of the naval air station. The region includes sev- eral other restored defense sites at the Coast Guard’s Aids to Navigation Team on Tongue Point, the Emer- ald Heights Apartments, the Astoria Regional Air- port, Camp Rilea and Fort Stevens.
