LEGISLATORS: JANE FONDA'S HYPOCRISY "TRULY OSCAR WORTHY"

ST. PAUL — Following the news that Jane Fonda is in Northwest Minnesota today to hold a press conference with protest leaders against the Line 3 Replacement project, State Representatives John Burkel, R-Badger, Deb Kiel, R-Crookston, Spencer Igo, R-Grand Rapids, Dale Lueck, R-Aitkin, Steve Green, R-Fosston, and Matt Grossell, R-Clearbrook, released the following statement:

"The hypocrisy from Jane Fonda on this issue, opposing this project that will protect the environment by replacing aging infrastructure, is truly Oscar worthy. This project has been studied time and time again and found to be safe for the environment and good for the economy. It is time to follow the science - this project exceeds regulatory standards and has withstood 6 years of scientific review. It is already providing thousands of good paying jobs, and benefiting our communities that have been so heavily impacted by the governor's shutdowns of the last year."
