Reaction to bills dealing with pipelines this week

WATERTOWN, S.D.(KELO)- They suffered some defeats in the legislature this week, but they aren’t giving up.

Carbon capture pipeline opponents say the glut of pipeline bills considered this week demonstrates there’s a problem.

Former legislator Craig Schaunaman says the bills that were passed are a move in the right direction, but don’t protect landowners from abuses of eminent domain powers.

Schaunaman is speaking on the issue at the Watertown Winter Farm Show today.
