Where is this eminent domain case in the courts? A federal district judge and Federal Energy Regulatory Agency granted a pipeline in Pennsylvania the ability to clear trees in anticipation of a pipeline while the matter continues in federal court.
How did the state police stop the pre-condemnation access? The federal judge’s order did not authorize the state police to arrest protesters who appeared to stop the loggers.
What is the issue the land owners are fighting? Landowners operate a maple farm, the trees are beginning to produce sap, and it is these revenue generating trees that the loggers sought to remove.
