Eminent Domain remains defined, in part, as "the power of the government to take property and convert it into public use". NOWHERE can I find anything stating that a PRIVATE COMPANY has authority to use Eminent Domain for its own use.
Summit Carbon Solutions has shown its colors through its arrogant actions of some of its personnel - like the jerk who barged into a rancher's office and home - UNINVITED last year while the owner was out of town. This is not mis/disinformation folks...THE OWNER'S SECURITY VIDEO WAS GIVEN TO MEDIA AND BROADCAST!
Another employee bragged SCS WOULD be using Eminent Domain to take land AS IF THEY had the authority to do so!
The AUTHORITY of Eminent Domain is that of Councils, County Commissioners and the State. PERIOD!
in spite of the Supreme Court's decision rejecting SCS's claim to be a 'common carrier', they persist in pursuing what 60% of South Dakota voters DO NOT WANT...as shown in the defeat of the hypocritically-named "Landowners' Bill of Rights.
SCS continues to show is colors in black and white....same colors as a skunk.
Thank you Representative Lems and your allies who conue to stand up for property owners' rights.
