(UPDATED/Radio Iowa) – Opponents of a proposed carbon pipeline urged Governor Kim Reynolds again today (Friday) to sign a bill into law to limit the use of eminent domain by pipeline developers. Mary Powell of Shelby County recalled that Reynolds mentioned Iowa’s state motto-“our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain”-during a nationally televised speech a few years ago.

Page County landowner Marty Maher says the bill won’t stop any pipelines, but it will make the process more fair.

Supporters of the carbon capture pipelines are asking Reynolds to veto the bill, saying it would kill those projects and hurt Iowa’s ethanol industry. Reynolds has said she’s meeting with groups on both sides of the issue to help her make a decision. She has to sign or veto bills passed in the legislative session by June 14th.
