re: Pipeline on farmland

Most of the pipeline companies that my family has agreements with have been good corporate partners. A Right-of-Way and Servitude agreement was written by attorneys for the benefit of the corporation, not the landowner. Most of their attorneys are fair and will agree to reasonable language changes.
Most of the landmen are honest people making a living and several have educated me with terms in the contracts. Many of them can read title better than lawyers. Remember that their job is to get signatures.
Eminent Domain has been extended beyond its intent to benefit only the shareholders of pipeline companies (even foreign-owned ones). I have no problem when it has to be used for the public benefit such as public highways, municipals such as parks and civic centers, hospitals, and airports. It appears that LADOTD might need some of our property for the Calcasieu Bridge replacement. I only recently became aware that the bridge will only be one component to the project.
