Port: Lawmaker fighting carbon pipeline because of ‘property rights’ once tried to seize neighbor’s property
MINOT, N.D. — “I believe that if we don’t protect our property rights, we won’t be free anymore.”

Magrum made that statement at a recent committee hearing for his bills.
His neighbors might be surprised to find out he feels that way.
More on that in a moment.
