3 Ways Texas Taxpayers Subsidize Pipelines & Power Lines

Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association’s Opinion: Texas landowners subsidize pipelines and powerlines says this happens in 3 ways:

  • profits often outweigh the rights of landowners with some pipelines & transmission lines
    • agents may pocket any money budgeted that isn’t paid to land owners
    • disincentivizes fair offers to landowners
  • Intimidation. The team of lawyers of pipelines and transmission line companies
  • adequate offers are essential so landowners are treated like partners not pittances
