Fleming County Fiscal Court passes resolution opposing TC Energy pipeline

Fleming County Fiscal Court voted unanimously April 8 to pass a Resolution of Non‑Support for the TC Energy gas pipeline proposed to cross private properties in the county.

Tom Galbreath, speaking on behalf of a landowner coalition that is calling itself the "Wooley Warriors," told the court that about 270 landowners could be affected, that property values would decline and that future use of their land could be restricted if the pipeline goes ahead. The court acted on a motion to pass a non‑support resolution; the motion passed unanimously.

County officials did not record detailed legal language of the resolution in the meeting minutes excerpt provided; the motion passed at the meeting and the court recorded its formal unanimous vote. The court’s passage of the resolution signals local opposition and may be used to inform state or federal legislators and agencies reviewing pipeline siting, according to the group’s request.

The court’s action followed public comment and a request that the Fiscal Court draft a resolution opposing the proposed route. The transcript does not record any immediate follow‑up assignments for staff to file the resolution with external agencies or a timetable for doing so.
