A statewide referendum vote is set in South Dakota for the Nov. 5 general election on a so-called “landowner bill of rights” related to a controversial carbon dioxide pipeline project proposed for the Midwest.

A sign reading"Property rights matter, no CO2" stands by a highway near Strasburg, N.D., Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024. A statewide referendum is set for the Nov. 5, 2024, general election in South Dakota on a law with regulations for carbon dioxide pipelines, tabbed as a"landowner bill of rights," after a group petitioned to refer the law to voters.

“I honestly believe a majority of South Dakotans think this pipeline is foolishness. I’m one of them,” he said. “I think it’s just of bunch of hooey and a big taxpayer boondoggle.” “If this gets shot down, that pipeline’s going to get built with no landowner protections and no plume study released and with a whole bunch of the other benefits that we fought real hard to get included,” Mortenson said.
