Dominion filed lawsuits against 47 Augusta and Nelson County landowners in attempt to seek what it believes is its right to survey private property without landowner permission in December.  Dominion made those suits public on Christmas Eve, assumingly in an attempt to ruin folks holidaysToday, Dominion's second round of lawsuits came to light.  Included among the 39 additional suits filed in Nelson County is one for Nelson's Sheriff David Brooks and his wife, Sherri. The Brooks responded with this statement:
"It is disappointing that our government has sold our property rights to the highest bidder. We will continue to protect our land and we are not intimidated by Dominion's strong arm tactics."
Dominion's suit brought against the Brooks is especially devastating for the couple as Sherri Is fighting cancer with strength and determination.
Dominion seems equally determined to ignore the wishes of the people in the path of its proposed pipeline, displaying the depth of their disdain for the circumstances in which the Brooks and others face in their daily lives.  Greed, profit, and a business plan calling for the continued use of fossil fuels against all odds has seemingly become Dominion's mantra!
