Permian Highway Pipeline outcry builds as residents seek answers

Transparency issues surrounding Kinder Morgan’s Permian Highway Pipeline provided more fuel for opponents fighting to keep the project from going through the Hill Country. 

Those arguments and much more were brought to the forefront in a public meeting held at Hays High March 6. Hays County Pct. 2 Commissioner Mark Jones said adding roadblocks to Kinder Morgan’s path could force the company to seek another route.

“One strategy we’re looking at is to make it as uncomfortable as we can and to make it as expensive as we can to where an alternative route is more attractive than bringing it through here,” Jones said.
