ROCK ISLAND – State Senator Mike Halpin is collaborating with Citizens Against Heartland Greenwashing Projects to host a town hall regarding farmer land rights and carbon sequestration pipelines on Monday, Nov. 16.
“Farmers and other residents of our communities are at risk of bullying and exploitation to make room for carbon sequestration pipelines from private companies,” said Halpin (D-Rock Island). “It is my job as a state senator to fight for residents in our communities and not let companies put their profits over farmers’ livelihoods. The environmental threat of carbon pipelines can severely affect farmers’ work, and they should not have to sacrifice yields on land that their families have had for generations.”
