Transcanada Condemnation Push Story: Verification?

The restored and rejuvenated SD Watch amends its story on Transcanada's delivery of condemnation letters to Marshall and Day County landowners to note that we still do not have independent verification of the story. None of the big media have run confirmation yet. The only condemnation clearly in the works is DME's request for a hearing before the state Transportation Commission to condemn land for its expansion from Wyoming.


The South Dakota blogosphere thus puts out an all-points bulletin for information on Transcanada's efforts to acquire land in the state. If you've received any cranky letters for Transcanada -- or, for that matter, if Transcanada has been perfectly polite and cooperative with you and is offering you a million bucks for the privilege of laying a pipeline across your cornfield -- let SD Watch or your other favorite South Dakota bloggers know. Transcanada's Keystone Project is an important story, and we should know whether this newest corporate neighbor plans to treat us as partners or peons.
