WATERTOWN, SD (KELO.com) — She isn’t running for President, and she supports landowners in the dispute over Carbon Capture Pipelines. Those are the words of Governor Kristi Noem while appearing on KWAT-radio in Watertown. She hasn’t endorsed anyone, but says she believes Donald Trump is the only real path to the White House for Republicans. The Governor’s comments on the pipeline generated immediate response from pipeline opponents. They say her administration lobbied against a bill that would have given landowners some protection against eminent domain on the CO-2 pipelines. Pipeline Opponent Ed Fischbach says if she’s serious about supporting landowners she should call a special session of the legislature to resurrect that bill.
Fischbach says that would put the governor is a tough position of having to oppose a project initiated by companies and individuals who have supported her.
