Denise Hallquist

My name is Denise Hallquist and I live in Montgomery County. I would like to register my opinion on SSB1166. As written, SSB1166 does not protect landowners who are currently threatened by carbon pipelines. We just want action on this. I am opposed to carbon pipelines because they are dangerous, are not a common carrier, do not serve a public use and costing us as taxpayers billions in tax credits (45Q). We need a bill that bans eminent domain for carbon pipelines and protects our property rights. I beg you to support your constituents in this fight against private companies (with foreign ties) using eminent domain for private gain. Respectfully submitted, Denise Hallquist
