the bakken pipeline would cut across 18 iowa counties, including boone, forcing landowners to give up their land through eminent domain. that is why wednesday, the boone county board of supervisors passed a resolution opposing the pipeline. like pipeline protestors have in the past, hollingshead says the board wanted to make a statement to the utilities board. >> i hope people think about it and think about the long term impacts it will have on the state. rose: labor group leaders are collecting names in support of the pipeline. they say constructing the 1100 mile long pipeline would put 400 operating engineers to work among other benefits. , >> this is domestic oil, we won't have to be overseas fighting for oil or shipping on rails. it will be better, it's safer. rose: a utilities board spokesman told me if the resolution becomes evidence in the record of this case, it will be considered by the board. the utilities board has yet to met a decision on the pipeline. a public comment hearing on the 12 in boone. in studio, rose heaphy, kcci 8 news, iowa's news leader. stacey: a judge dism
