4 Points from IA State Reps on Transmission Line Eminent Domain.

State Rep. Grassley, grandson to US Senator Grassley, has 2 points to make to a clean energy line that wants to use eminent domain in Iowa:

  • The Iowa Utilities Board has told you 2 times that eminent domain cannot be separated from your permit application
  • If you don’t allow Iowans to plug in, you’re not a utility & therefore don’t deserve eminent domain powers
  • Missouri also denied your transmission line request (our numbers are growing)
  • We’re also watching your attempt to end run the state with legislation in the US Senate, that place where my grandfather serves
