After negotiating a $350,000 easement with Sunoco Logistics over the ME2 pipeline for property the borough owns in Middletown, Media Borough Council claims "we didn't have much of a legal option." What's preventing other municipalities from using the same response?

Did Sunoco claim eminent domain the greater good, they're plenty of media residents that make their living outside of the oil and gas industry and aren't fans of fracking yet media borough says
ReplyDeleteNO CONTEST !!
They at least could have put on a show for the people that they cared about safety and the greater good ABSURD !
Great response.............."we didn't have much of a legal option"..... Well a court order from several years ago demanded that Media fix the 3rd St. Bridge to a working two way two lane roadway over a new dam. Seems this legal ruling is still being slow played by the Boro. If Boro Council used the same logic not only would 3rd st. be open to two way traffic right now a lot of money would have been saved.
ReplyDeleteDepending on pipe size, gas pressure, and the type of gas - you could be looking at 300-400 ft evacuation distance in the event of a leak or rupture
ReplyDeleteDespite the great efforts done by the community to address safety, this was shoved down our throats. Media knows it, Middletown knows it and so will everyone else at tonight's meeting.
ReplyDeleteMedia Borough's favorite excuse "we didn't have much of a legal option." They played that game with the Third Street bridge and that wound them up in front of a judge with a contempt of court ruling.
