  2. Out of state investors and foreign investors interests are more important than SD landowners interests.

  3. Thank you Governor Noem! Nice to see SD is still open for business. Despite what opponents say, the carbon pipeline is critical for ethanol and our state’s economy.

  4. “Landowner bill of rights.” Catchy label! Much the same as calling certain pieces of equipment “honey wagons.”

    1. Dave, landowners don’t actually have any rights other than due process and just compensation, as promised in the 5th Amendment to the US Constitution.
      That due process thing means you get to be notified that your land is going to be seized, you are given a chance to contest the seizure in court, and when you lose in court, you get money.

      Kelo v. The City of New London. Look it up. Michelle Bachmann tried to make an issue of it when she was running for POTUS in 2012; were you paying attention then? Did anybody care? John Stossel did a feature on the Little Pink House. Where was the outrage then?

      1. Dave has no clue what is actually in the constitution. And is missing some of his teeth. But he feels big when he spouts off like he knows all over social media. Fair market value, public use, due process. Public use was defined in Kelo vs New London. These are the facts.
