THE 91ST SESSION OF THE IOWA LEGISLATURE CONVENES AT 10AM MONDAY.
REPUBLICAN DISTRICT 7 STATE SENATOR KEVIN ALONS REPRESENTS WOODBURY AND MONONA COUNTIES, AND WAS INVOLVED IN THE BATTLE OVER EMINENT DOMAIN LAST YEAR.
HE SIDED WITH LANDOWNERS OPPOSED TO HAVING THEIR PROPERTY POSSIBLY TAKEN BY EMINENT DOMAIN FOR A CARBON PIPELINE PROJECT.
ALONS AND OTHER SENATORS DELAYED A BUDGET VOTE UNTIL A BILL WAS PASSED, BUT GOVERNOR REYNOLDS VETOED THE EMINENT DOMAIN BILL.
ALONS EXPECTS A SIMILAR BILL THIS SESSION:
SESSION8 OC……ON THIS ISSUE. :23
ALONS DISPUTES THE CLAIM THAT APPROVING A CARBON PIPELINE WILL RAISE THE PRICE OF CORN FOR FARMERS:
SESSION9 OC…..PROPERTY RIGHT. :19
ALONS SAYS HE WILL CONTINUE TO STAND BY HIS PERSPECTIVE THAT PROPERTY RIGHTS AND THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN HAVE TO FALL WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION.
