 The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has been holding public hearings across the state regarding that line three pipeline project and the next meeting is scheduled to be held in Bemidji next Tuesday. There'll be two separate public meetings held at the Sanford Center Ballroom. The commission relies on public participation in making sitting and routing decisions while this has been a contentious issue. The previous meetings that have been held in Bemidji have been peaceful and the Bemidji Police Department is hopeful that this final meeting will be the same way. For the most part all the meetings we've had in Bemidji have been peaceful and no arrests have been made and that's the way we would like to keep it. We don't want to hinder anyone's ability to express their first amendment right but we would ask people to you know be sure their conduct is proper and that they're respectful of others. The two public hearings will be held from one until 4 p.m. then again from 6 until 9 p.m. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
