Iowa governor rejects GOP bill to increase regulations of Summit's carbon dioxide pipeline
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on Wednesday rejected a bill that could have introduced more complications for a massive carbon-capture pipeline project routed across several Midwestern states, issuing a rare veto in the Republican-controlled statehouse. The legislation was designed by Iowa House Republicans to increase regulations of Summit Carbon Solutions' estimated $8.9 billion, 2,500-mile (4,023-kilometer) project that cuts across Iowa and already has an approved permit in the state. But the bill provoked loud opposition from members of Iowa's powerful ethanol industry, which argued the project is essential for Iowa's agricultural dominance, for farmers and for construction jobs. And it exposed a rift within the party over how to protect property rights. 'While I shared the bill's goal of protecting landowners, good policy should draw clear, careful lines. This bill doesn't,' said Reynolds, a Republican, in the explanation of her veto. 'It combines valid concerns with vague legal standards and sweeping mandates that reach far beyond their intended targets.' Despite her veto, Reynolds said she was 'committed to working with the legislature to strengthen landowner protections, modernize permitting, and respect private property.' Iowa state Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, a Republican who supported the bill in the House, said Wednesday that her commitment is too little, too late. 'If she was willing to work with us on this, where in the world has she been the last three years?' Kaufmann said. 'She is clearly not siding with the constitutional rights of landowners but rather she's siding with special interests.' Summit has said it has invested nearly $175 million to enter into voluntary agreements with landowners in Iowa and more than $1 billion on the project overall. In a statement, Summit thanked the governor for a thoughtful review of the bill and said their goal is to proceed with voluntary agreements with landowners. Even with the relief from Reynolds' veto, Summit will likely have to readjust plans after South Dakota's governor signed a ban on the use of eminent domain — the government seizure of private property with compensation — to acquire land for carbon dioxide pipelines. Summit's permit application was also rejected in South Dakota. The project has permit approvals in Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota but faces various court challenges. The Iowa bill would have prohibited the renewal of permits for a carbon dioxide pipeline, limited the use of such a pipeline to 25 years and significantly increased the insurance coverage requirements for the pipeline company. Those provisions would likely have made it less financially feasible for a company to build a carbon dioxide pipeline. 'We look forward to continued discussions with state leaders as we advance this important project,' Summit said Wednesday. 'At a time when farmers are facing increasing pressures, this project opens the door to new markets and helps strengthen America's energy dominance for the long term.' Rift in Republican-controlled statehouse Republican House Speaker Pat Grassley said after Reynolds' veto that he would pursue a special session to vote on an override, saying in a statement that the veto 'is a major setback for Iowa.' The Iowa Constitution states that a request for special session from two-thirds of both chambers, or the governor, can bring lawmakers back to Des Moines. Two-thirds of both chambers would need to vote for an override for the bill to become law without the governor's approval. 'We will not stop fighting and stand firm on our commitment until landowners' in Iowa are protected against Eminent Domain for private gain,' Grassley said. Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver suggested that would be unlikely in his chamber. Thirteen Republican senators had joined with 14 Democrats in voting in favor of the bill, but 21 Republicans and one Democrat voted against it. 'Based on the votes on that bill in the Iowa Senate, a significant majority of our caucus supports a better policy to protect landowner rights. I expect that majority of our caucus would not be interested in any attempt to override her veto,' he said. As the legislative session wound down, a dozen Republican senators insisted their leaders bring the House-approved bill to the floor for a vote after several years of inaction. The stalemate ended in a long and divisive debate among the Iowa Senate's Republican supermajority, with senators openly criticizing one another and exposing the closed-door discussions that got them there. Summit's project and its critics The Summit pipeline was proposed to carry carbon emissions from ethanol plants in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota to be stored underground permanently in North Dakota. By lowering carbon emissions from the plants, the pipeline would lower their carbon intensity scores and make them more competitive in the renewable fuels market. The project would also allow ethanol producers and Summit to tap into federal tax credits. The pipeline's many critics have for years begged lawmakers for action. They accuse Summit of stepping on their property rights and downplaying the safety risks of building the pipeline alongside family homes, near schools and across ranches. Lee Enterprises and The Associated Press reviewed hundreds of cases that reveal the great legal lengths the company went to to get the project built. In South Dakota, in particular, a slew of eminent domain legal actions to obtain land sparked a groundswell of opposition that was closely watched by lawmakers in Iowa as well. A group of landowners released a statement Wednesday calling the veto a slap in the face. 'Big money, greed & self interest won the day,' said Jan Norris, a landowner in southwest Iowa whose neighbor is in the pipeline's route. 'Our property rights are for sale to the highest bidder.'

Bill allowing anyone 18 or older to conceal carry passes NC House, headed to governor
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Despite two Republican lawmakers siding with Democrats in opposition, a bill allowing people as young as 18 to carry a gun without a permit in the state, is headed to the Governor's office. Republican sponsors of the bill say it only enshrines the right to carry a weapon to law-abiding citizens. Rep. Jay Adams (R-Catawba) said in defense of the bill, ' States have done this…we're close to 50% of the country…this is really not going to affect criminal behavior…this is going to benefit law abiding citizens.' Democrats opposed the bill, saying it'll only lead to more gun violence and put guns into the hands of teenagers who aren't old enough to understand the true dangers of guns. 'Studies have shown that permit-less concealed carry increases violence and death,' Rep. Phil Rubin (D-Wake) said. The final vote came after a second reading in which 54 voted in favor and 48 voted against. The bill now heads to Gov. Josh Stein's desk, where he can sign it into law or veto the bill. If Stein vetoes SB50, House Republicans would need every single Republican and one Democrat to vote to override that veto. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Jesse Watters, who said Comey's ‘86' post was a ‘hit' on Trump, celebrates that ABC ‘86'd Terry Moran'
Last month, Fox News star Jesse Watters melted down over James Comey's '8647' social media post, insisting that it proved the former FBI director 'obviously was trying to put out a hit on' President Donald Trump. Three weeks later, the MAGA host let slip that his outrage over Comey was all a performative show when he reacted to the firing of Terry Moran by celebrating that the ABC News correspondent had been '86'd' by the network. MAGA world absolutely erupted in mid-May when Comey, a vocal critic of the president who was fired by Trump as FBI chief in 2017, posted an image of seashells on the beach that were arranged to spell out the numbers 8647. Based on '86' being a restaurant-based slang term meaning to 'get rid of' or 'throw out,' Trump immediately claimed that the image 'meant assassination,' as he is the 47th president. The Secret Service would soon launch an investigation into Comey, who claimed there was no 'dark intention' and that it was 'crazy' to suggest he was trying to get the president killed. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard would tell Watters that the ex-FBI director should be 'put behind bars' over the since-deleted post, while FBI deputy director Dan Bongino fumed that Comey 'brought shame to the FBI again' with the image. Of course, many of the conservatives who were apoplectic about Comey's Instagram pic had previously used similar terms in reference to other politicians or impeaching former President Joe Biden, and pro-Trump retailers are still selling '8646' merchandise. Matt Gaetz, the former GOP congressman who now hosts a show on far-right conspiracy channel One America News, once boasted that he had '86'd' several prominent Republicans from leadership roles. 'I was speaking in the past tense about things that had already happened,' Gaetz told The Independent last month. 'Comey was putting out a call for future action. These are distinct.' Watters, meanwhile, was one of the loudest voices in pro-Trump media condemning the former FBI director and calling for action to be taken over the 'death threat' against the president. 'He obviously was trying to put out a hit on Trump, got caught, and deleted it,' Watters grumbled on the May 16 broadcast of The Five, adding: 'Anybody with common sense knows what this guy meant.' He would go on to complain that Comey was 'calling for [Trump's] head' and that he hoped the Secret Service would soon pay him a visit 'because this can't stand.' During his primetime show later that evening, Watters aired a lengthy segment about the Comey post and even went so far as to call for the feds to check for 'sand under [Comey's] fingernails' to see if he was the one who arranged the seashells on the beach. He also took issue with mainstream and liberal media outlets not taking the 'threat' against Trump seriously. 'The media pretending not to know what 8647 means, the same way they pretended not to know that MS-13 was on an American dad's knuckles,' Watters fumed. 'Suddenly, it is legal to threaten the president's life.' Fast forward a few weeks, though, and it appears that the Fox News host has now learned that '86' could have a more ambiguous meaning. 'ABC just 86'd Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a hateful bigot,' he declared on Tuesday night, referencing Moran's termination following a late-night tweet criticizing Trump and Miller. 'This was probably the easiest thing that ABC ever had to do.' As he spoke with fellow Fox News host Julie Banderas about ABC parting ways with its longtime correspondent and gaining 'credibility with the White House,' an on-air graphic blared 'TERRY MORAN 86'D BY ABC' across the screen. Meanwhile, Watters' sudden realization that the term '86' doesn't necessarily mean murder was not lost on his critics, who were more than happy to point out his hypocrisy and faux indignation on the Comey situation. 'The entire '86'd' thing was basically a litmus test for who is an honest broker and who is not,' American Immigration Council senior fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick reacted. 'Those who seriously claimed it was a death threat simply should not be trusted to make honest arguments.' 'Starting to think these guys may not be entirely on the level,' Media Matters writer Matt Gertz flatly stated, sharing screenshots of Watters' segments from last month and Tuesday night.
