The president of Missouri Farm Bureau says the organization remains neutral on the Right of First Refusal following a veto on the issue during delegate session at the annual meeting.
Garrett Hawkins tells Brownfield it’s a complicated topic.
“I’ve heard from members who are concerned about the competitive aspect of ROFR,” he says. “We heard some of that discussion on the delegate floor. There are three incumbent utilities in the state and there are concerns ROFR might give them a competitive advantage.”
However, Hawkins says Missouri Farm Bureau members would like to see the state legislature be more involved in transmission line proposals.
