  1. Ask yourself, Why do they always put pipelines through poor or nonwhite neighborhoods? They never put them in white or upper middle class neighborhoods. They do this because poor people don’t have the resources to fight back. This is wrong because the wealthy, upper class, use most of these resources, in their larger homes and in their larger vehicles and businesses. They need to be responsible.

  2. If it's not going to be a problem with the water system it shouldn't be an issue at all there are gas lines running to every house in the city this is just another one. But leave it to our Congressman to make it a racial issue for him to jump up and be the hero piece of work.. I'm sure that young man means well but he's probably trying to become a politician himself, if wrong I'll apologize, but I have a feeling. and think of the jobs that would creat. make that part of your complaint, you want local labor

  3. "environmental racism" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Its a pipeline, its supposed to go generally in a straightline. Companies want to be efficient when laying down pipes, has nothing to do with racism… If you want to pay for more gas by all means, just pay for my gas as well.
