Landowner Attorney for NEAT to Address Pipeline Issues At 99th Annual Nebraska Farmers Union State Convention

Nebraska Farmers Union (NeFU) would like to let all landowners and Nebraska citizens know that Brian Jorde, an attorney with Domina Law Group, will be speaking about the recently formed Nebraska Easement Action Team, better known as NEAT, at the 99th Annual NeFU State Convention.  The Convention will be held at the Midtown Holiday Inn in Grand Island.   

This won’t be your typical lecture. The Do the Math tour--coming to Omaha on Dec. 1st--will be unique and an interactive experience, unlike any talk you’ve been to before. It will pick up where Bill McKibben’s landmark Rolling Stone article left off. Together we are strong enough to stand up to the fossil fuel industry influence on our politicians, land, water and air.

The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) released the TransCanada Pipeline Draft Report and scheduled the public hearing for Dec. 4th in Albion. As a reminder, there is still an active lawsuit on the DEQ process, you can read more about the lawsuit here. The route is still too risky for the Sandhills and the Aquifer. Land rights, oil spill response plans, liability and many other concerns have not been addressed.
