PennEast Pipeline Company complained about the press coverage of its recent letter to affected land owners. Last Thursday Linda noted at a meeting of the Carbon County Commissioners that the letter implied that the company had a right to enter property to survey without the landowner’s permission.
A spokesperson for PennEast said “...at no point does the letter convey that PennEast will access properties without the owner’s consent.”
Here is how the letter is entitled (in bold caps yet): NOTICE OF INTENT TO ENTER LAND TO SURVEY.
If someone walks up to you and says, “I’m giving you notice of intent to punch you really hard in the face,” what would be your reaction?
I think you can understand why landowners and environmentalists don’t trust PennEast.
What a bunch of idiots are working for Penn East. They obviously don't care about anything or anyone who will be affected. Bottom line, they only care about making money. Where the hell are the representatives at? People need to get educated and vote.
ReplyDeleteIf the pipeline is that essential, maybe they should run the pipeline down the middle of interstates. To me that makes more sense.
Our local Rep is totally in favor of the pipeline. Can't get anything from Helfley.
ReplyDeleteI contacted him and get no answer.
I believe Rep. Heffley receives a fairly large amount of campaign contributions from the natural gas industry. Whether or not that influences his opinion, I can't say.
