Landowner assaulted after confronting FERC meeting over Spectra's pipeline

On the 17th of March, Nancy Vann of Resist AIM Pipeline from NY was violently removed from the room after daring to speak out at FERC's monthly meeting. She was knocked to the ground when security guards in the process of forcibly removing her denied her access to her cane. Her property was condemned by Spectra Energy for their Algonquin Incremental Market (AIM) project. This time around, FERC was not sucessful in preventing photos and video from escaping the hearing room. They are known for aggression against photographers but this time they were not sucessful in concealing their violence and aggression.FERC is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and is known for rubberstamping fracked gas projects all over the continent. In only one case have they rejected a proposal, that being the Jordan Cove LNG export plant and gas pipelines to feed it. That came after exactly the sort of intense public pressure on FERC that continued at the March 17th meeting.http://beyondextremeenergy.org/2016/03/17/resistaim-confronts-ferc-commi...Video of FERC security's violent assault on Nancy Vann
