Update On The Dakota Access Pipeline -- Local Interest -- Dickinson Press - July 10, 2016

From The Dickinson Press. Data points (numbers rounded):
  • farmers are starting to receive "mailbox money" for the pipeline
  • the South Dakota portion of the project is expected to cost $820 million (almost a billion dollars)
  • the South Dakota portion will generate an estimated $40 million for the state during the construction
  • after completion, the "pipeline" will pay annual property tax payments to each traversed county
  • the company will pay an estimated $15 million in property tax payments to South Dakota counties in its first year in service
  • even farmers who objected to the pipeline are cashing their "mailbox money" checks rather than sending them back to the pipeline company in protest
