September 26, 2011 – Nebraska’s Senator Ben Nelson has posted on his Senate website information for Nebraskans about U.S. State Department public hearings that will be held this week in Lincoln and Atkinson on the Keystone XL pipeline proposed to cross Nebraska.
“These public hearings will give Nebraskans an important opportunity to express their opinions, offer views and share facts about the Keystone XL pipeline project,” said Senator Nelson. “I’ve posted information on my Senate website from the State Department so that Nebraskans can both follow the hearings and make their views known as the State Department considers the permit to build the pipeline.
“It’s my hope that Nebraskans, including state government, will use these public hearings in Lincoln and Atkinson to make their views known about the pipeline project, its impact and routing through Nebraska,” said Nelson.
Senator Nelson has set up a page on his website on the public meetings to help facilitate public comment. It contains information the State Department provided about how the public hearings will be conducted, how Nebraskans can participate, and the procedures the State Department will follow in gathering the public record on the pipeline project.
