July 12th a federal judge in Des Moines, Stephanie Rose, appointed by President Obama, ruled on an ordinance made by Shelby County, which restricted how close a carbon pipeline can come to schools, cities, livestock, etc.She ruled that state and local agencies cannot regulate safety matters.This is an unfortunate ruling. Local agencies are responsible for the safety of citizens and will be responsible if a pipeline breaks and sucks all the oxygen out of the air requiring massive medical services. This land grab is bad enough, but the safety concerns are really alarming. Thank you for speaking up Mr. Hunold. Lee County needs to be ready when this gets built.
