LAND OWNERS WHO ARE FORCED TO GIVE UP FORCEFULLY THEIR LAND, FOR PRIVATE COMPANY Prophet - SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RECEIVE PERCENTAGE OF THE COMPANIES PROFITS!!!what if this private corporation gives a percentage of the profits forever as long as this company is in existence to the farmers on top of their cash payment for a double and triple the price of the land? It makes sense this is like when actors are getting residual fees if somebody using their material what is the difference land is the most precious commodity an acid anyone can have in this country in the world is a matter of especially in this country if you take somebody’s land you should compensate them with the part of the profit that you’re making end of story somebody should’ve thought about it what is this I didn’t this is not a government company to ask eminent domain private companies CANNOT ASK OR IMPOSE EMINENT OK
Hawley is just as ignorant. Constitutional Eminent Domain mandates due process, court defense and compensation for landowners of taking ONLY BY GOVT. if proven said land is of public necessity at present market price. Eminent Domain does NOT apply to the taking of any land by private corporations.
@@moonovermiami9787 It's happening all over the country, and has been for YEARS. It has become common for local municipalities to Take Under Eminent Domain, "For the Public Good", Private Lands for Big Corporations to build Strip Malls, Housing Developments, Etc. Don't come back with some "Reasoned Analysis" of yours, that is 9/10 BS, wanting me to Research and Cite cases, Chapter and Verse to disprove your Idiocy. It's great that you read a definition of Eminent Domain. Now try looking into the Thousands of times it has been Misused to abuse Private land owners. I got my first lesson as a teen in the 1960s when "A PRIVATE COMPANY wanted Acres and Acres of our land for a right of way for a Natural Gas Pipeline. It took them years but they finally got it, and all we could do is make them pay as much as possible and replace Fencing, Etc. that they destroyed.....We Got a little money and a wide strip of Unusable Land running across 700+ acres of land, that we still get to pay taxes on TODAY. Right now the State is using it the proper way to widen the Highway in front of my Home, and all I'm doing is trying to get as much "Consideration" as I can. I'm not giving them Free Reign, but I'm not gonna Fight them, unless they become too Intrusive. See, Puddin, there are different uses and Abuses of one Little Law.......Starting over 50 years ago the Local Muckety Mucks decided to Bulldoze my family into allowing them to pave a road on our property. We made he effort to go along, but their demands were Extreme, Overblown and completely unacceptable. We Fought them for 2 Decades, all the while knowing we'd lose. We lost, but our Legal fees were $10,000.00, but the State and County spent right at $1,000,000 to acquire 7 very rural acres, that, at the time was valued at less than $700.00 an acre, and they had to replace every foot of fence they took down. Your, Assumed, and Oh So Superior, and Knowledgeable "Statement Of Fact", is Anything But. In Fact you don't know what you're Pontificating About, with such Smugness and Surety. This kind of Crap happens to Real People, Every day, yet you, like so many others haven't a single clue as to what Really Happens. I'm 74 and have dealt with this Trash 3 times in my life, and Every Time, I was the one who ended up Losing, so don't Preach to me about how Fair and Cut And Dried the process is. I know Better, and can only hope that you own a piece of Ground you love and at some point have to deal with the same type of Eminent Domain, Abuse that lots of us "Mere Mortals" had had to and will have to deal with. That'll Change your tune in a heartbeat.....OR maybe you are one of those "Opportunists" who are using ED to Rob people of their Land, for your "Projects" that benefit only your Bottom Line......... If you are not among That Sorry Ilk, I'd Suggest that you Wake TF Up!
@@dwightcurrie8316 Just bcs unconstitutional eminent domain been allowed by courts and public in past, does not make it right, does not make it constitutional. Does not change the constitution. Unconstitutional court decisions and legislation need to be fought & reversed.
"Federal agencies" do NOT have the authority to take LAND in ANY state. That is determined BY THE STATE. So the first place this needs to go to is asking officials in Missouri HOW it was able to be done without the approval of land owners.
And SeNator, what are you going to do besides saying it is ridiculous. IT IS YOUR STATE! STOP THE HYPOCRISY AND DO SOMETHING TO STOP GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE OVERREACH.
@@Halo3Matalix Like Hawley said, his office could be replaced with an algorithm. He looks to see if the item meets all the criteria which is, approved by x, has x amount of funding. His office does not look at the underlying decision itself and the people against it.

"I'm a cogressman... I think what you're doing is outrageous.... I have a problem with it.... but I'm not going to do anything about it other than yak yak yak as if I'm going to do something.... but I'm not
And owners should be allowed to get a percentage of residual percentage of the profits of this company who is appropriating Dale and under false pretense is! How difficult is it to figure out SENATOR’s sit down and make a little like that it’s not that hard to think of it
Eminent Domain requires the payment of just compensation - period. I worked for a state government and a local government, both of whom had the power of eminent domain, and I can tell you, it's a long and arduous process. 30 years in the field so I do know of which I speak. Regarding the Expressway, I'm against any profit making utility being able to use eminent domain except in extreme cases and then only after extensive public hearings to prove the public need of the utility project and justification of their proposed alignment.
The use of eminent domain has expanded in recent years. I remember the days when it was only allowed to public utilities and government agencies. Even then there was the requirement that fair market value had to be paid for the easement. In my experience, this powerline would not be allowed the use of eminent domain in Missouri because it serves no public purpose in Missouri unless FERC granted the use of eminent domain to the utility and even then, FMV still needs to be paid for the easements.
Keep taking farm land, not like that's what feeds us and the world or anything. Or, have we fallen so far, everyone thinks food grows in the grocery store.
Layers of plausible Deniability, the makings of any good conspiracy or scam! No one's in charge, no one's responsible, no one's to blame, but somebody's gettin nasty rich!!!
Then it looks like that.The man running the organization there that you're talking to should not get any kind of money from the process of the organization
The reason companies get exactly what they want is campaign contributions. I’ll bet, that transmission line company made massive campaign contributions to everyone involved. Legal bribery.
Nothing will happen. This is talk talk talk! The company is going to take the land! Farmers will not be compensated! Change has to happen! Yet who will make the changes?
In another words they can steal from the people as long as they say its on the best interest for the people no matter if the people say no and disagree
He's not worried about it cause it's not his state land or way of life that is being lost laws need to be put in place where congress can hold these people accountable for any and all actions their agency engages in and also makes it illegal to withhold anything requested by congress
The whole thing is CRIMINAL.
AND as per usual....Not a thing will be done.
This is why No bureaucrats should be able to work for the government for more than 10 years, no pension, no retirement.
No farms no food. Josh Hawley is the best. True American.

Well then Hawley DO something about it!!
Love Josh Hawley, great representative

Save our farms and farmers
I ❤ Josh Hawley
Farmers getting screwed again
Our food supply!!!!
TY Senator Hawley!!
And then.... Nothing happens. Why do you spend so much time and energy griping and then have zero affect on anything.
Congress make the laws in America. So if the law needs to be changed as Congressman Josh Hawley says, then why don't he take steps to change it?
The end there was interesting; getting definite Steven Moffat "WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOU!" vibes.

Shut it all down

And what will be done about? NOTHING!!
You are grilling the wrong person. Go after the people he said approved it.
he was the one that approved the fast 41
And it took this for the Missouri Legislature to take action to protect their citizens. No eminent domain protection foresight

Who owns this company? Who sits on the BoD’s? Who owns stock in this company? That will likely explain everything!
Yes like no government like that😡😡😡😡😡😡
Take it all back
Talk, talk and more talk. What a waste of time since their is nothing congress can enforce.
What a gem of a senator.
How unfair is this to the farmers? They need to be compensated one way or another, this is a disgrace..
Didnt Missouri State have a say/comment before the project goes to final approval? Did someone miss the proposal paper? What is the governance?
Good job, Senator Hawley.
I hate to say we need more lawyers , but somebody needs to step up and sue the daylights out of that company.
How about replacing all Congressional oversight with A.I? I mean, why stop there? Don't hold back!
Congress is already run by AI - Absence of Intelligence.
Amen.

They are shutting down farmland
Emanate domain should be by state laws, not federal.

Overhead cables, only take up land area of individual masts?.......
disruption/land use compensation is required..........
Keystone Pipeline - Bad . High Voltage Lines - Good ?
Deny it

Wouldn’t doubt he’s getting money from said major corporation 🤔🤔
From fist in the air to running like a chicken. Nobody will ever forget that.

land grab with "the law" on their side. Sad
