STATEMENT FROM REP. DAN FABIAN ON THE ENBRIDGE LINE 3 DELAY

ST. PAUL, MN—Representative Dan Fabian, R-Roseau, issued the following statement regarding Enbridge’s decision to delay the opening of the Line 3 replacement pipeline until the second half of 2020.

"The Walz-Flanagan administration’s decision to continue the challenge of the PUC's unanimous approval of the Enbridge pipeline continues to have negative repercussions for northern Minnesota. This delay pushes back thousands of new jobs, millions in property tax revenue, and environmental protection. It is unfortunate that this administration continues to put politics ahead of the needs of our northern Minnesota communities."

Rep. Fabian, the Republican lead on the Environment and Natural Resources Finance Division, has long been a supporter of the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline replacement, a project which would bring thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in property tax revenue to northern Minnesota.
