MEMPHIS, Tenn. — People who thought they'd successfully beat efforts to build the Byhalia pipeline learned on Monday Valero hasn't given up.
The proposed pipeline would connect the Valero refinery in southwest Memphis to the company's terminal just outside Collierville in Marshall County.
Celebrities from Justin Timberlake, to Jane Fonda and Danny Glover argued against it, not to mention thousands of people who would live nearby.
Sen. Ken Yager and Rep. Kevin Vaughan of Collierville are pitching a bill that would take away local control of land use zoning any time it might affect the delivery of gas or "liquified petroleum gas transmission".
The issue is expected to be voted on in the House and Senate Commerce Committees on Tuesday.
