Ford Turner at the Reading Eagle, a Pennsylvania newspaper, put together a pretty nice article which illustrates how different attitudes can bring different results in negotiating with a pipeline company.  In writing the story, he interviewed a number of people from his community about their experiences with putting together a deal with the pipeline.  Each person had a different experience.

If you have been approached by someone who represents the Atlantic Coast Pipeline or the Mountain Valley Pipeline, you should definitely take a few minutes to read the article.
