VT Governor Opposes Pipeline Use of Eminent Domain

In the perennial battle of how to simultaneously support landowners and economic prosperity, VT Governor supports a pipeline but goes to bat for landowners. The Governor asked the pipeline company to pause eminent domain legal proceedings and allow for negotiations.

Landowners want to be reimbursed for legal expenses they have incurred. The pipeline company initially said no, but now it says it is “definitely willing to consider reimbursement for legal expenses.”    VT Digger
