Kudos to Hamilton County for standing up to Bruce Rastetter's cash grab. Supervisor Rick Young sums it up clearly in stating there is a "lack of public purpose" to Summit's project:

🥚 How important are eggs to grocery store competition?

Kroger tracks egg prices among five "essential" products (w/ milk, sugar, bananas, lettuce) that guide weekly consumer grocery shopping. K price checks these weekly.

Today, K exec confirmed damning internal emails...

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

Kroger was the final gouger, not the only gouger. Every entity with power through the supply chain added a few extra percent, by the time it got to Kroger prices were much higher. Then Kroger also took its vig. It's why the 'net income' argument is so dumb.

South Dakota says Summit’s proposed CO2 pipeline is not a common carrier and that the CO2 being shipped and sequestered underground has no apparent productive use. This means that Summit has overstepped their bounds when it comes to surveying land.https://t.co/hY7NKS7Mow

Thanks to all who came out last night to knock doors in Manly about the proposed CO2 pipeline! We met great people (& dogs), and have 433 petition sigs from Worth Co. urging their Supervisors to pass a pipeline ordinance. help us get over 500 on Aug 17: https://t.co/Fz1E9JMvAk

Iowans are navigating a water crisis, and communities like Penney's face high nitrates and forever chemicals in their drinking water. Our Senators 'could' do something about it: https://t.co/eUhUHqlI5X

This article does a really nice job laying out the state of play: everyone knows where the pollution is coming from (ag), that current approaches aren’t working (and never will), and what needs to be done instead (regulation), but no one has the courage or will to act.

[Iowa CCI @iowacci]

Remember when Gov. Reynolds said she wanted her own AG and State Auditor? Wonder what that could've been all about... https://t.co/hriCYmaPeF

[Iowa CCI @iowacci]

pretty straightforward and simple challenge for candidates/elected officials to see which side they're on - everyday people or the pipeline profiteers:https://t.co/WtuxK6cRLn
