Property rights and pipelines were part of the Thursday discussion at the South Dakota Farmers Union Convention in Huron. Domina Law Group Managing Attorney Brian Jorde sees the Legislature as an opportunity to update private property rights policy. This effort began last year. “Unfortunately, we got to an unfriendly committee in the Senate where it was designed to be killed and that’s what happened,” said Jorde. “No one thought we’d have a second chance so this is a golden opportunity that can’t be squandered.” Brown County Commissioner Drew Dennert was also part of the panel discussion on landowner rights. Dennert, who is a former state legislator, expects this to be a hot topic in Pierre.
