Iowans Say the Darndest Things About Pipelines

Iowa- home the Presidential state fair and its fair share of pipelines. One Iowan expressed these views of the Ames Tribune:

“I see only corporate greed, trampling of private property rights and a threat to Iowa’s environment. Here’s my beef: show me the public good. “

His comments reflect tw growing eminent domain trends:

• a message & campaign trend of “no eminent domain for private (corporate) gain”
• a legal trend of denying pipelines eminnet domain when the pipelines do not deliver products to the land area taken. (Courts throughout the country are looking for a direct public use or benefit.)
