BOLD Nebraska

N.E.A.T. Nebraska Easement Action Team• is a non-profit education and legal defense fund

established for the benefit of NEBRASKA landowners and citizens affected by the TransCanada KXL pipeline. We must ensure landowner rights and interests are protected no matter what the end result is with the pipeline. We believe the terms and fine print in all Easements must aggressively be negotiated for and in favor of landowners

Cooperation Money

• It is the CARROT to get you to sign

• It is also to silence you.

• It is to bully you into signing a bad contract

Suggestions

• If you have been served your Easement agreements let the deadline pass.

• Do not sign anything and all money has strings attached.

• Talk to your neighbours, educate yourself.

• Join OurlandNB and CAEPLA and you never have to talk to your land agent.
