Columbia Spy 
I wonder if Rep. Hickernell is able to form an opinion on this yet. Or is he still suffering from an ethical dilemma?

I work within this industry, unfortunately the only “real” money that Columbia would see would be the increased trade revenue(hotels, restaurants, gas stations, etc) from the workers while the project is commencing and the possible small dollar Right of Way purchases. It does not pay ongoing residuals as some would think. They do usually make a small yearly contribution to the local Fire and EMS service. Simply put…..pipelines make money for pipeline owners/operators and thats it.
