Debate centers on whether Governor Dave Heineman acted properly when he blessed a route for the oil pipeline
Nebraskas supreme court heard arguments on Friday about whether Governor Dave Heineman acted properly when he blessed a route for the Keystone XL oil pipeline, and the courts decision could weigh on the controversial project.
A lawyer for landowners who may be in the pipelines path hoped to persuade the seven-member panel that Heineman overreached and that a decision on the route should be left to an independent state agency.
