Dear President Trump,
ABC News reported yesterday that you stated that the Dakota
Access Pipeline was not controversial and that you did not receive a single
complaint about it.
The pipeline runs next to Native American land. It runs under the Missouri River. It is close enough to both a sensitive aquifer
and fragile prairieland that an environmental study was called for. You issued an executive order to cancel
that study.
There have been protests for months because to build a
pipeline in that location seems both insensitive and antagonistic toward the
Native Americans who live there.
Because this seems short-sighted, dangerous, and more like
the actions of a bully than the actions of the president of the United States, allow me
to officially lodge a complaint. Now you
have at least one.
Regards,
Bill Boerman-Cornell
