Rand Paul opposes pipeline safety

[Sbane]

While I don't know the particulars of the bill, the fact that the pipeline companies are in favor of it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a good bill, or even one that doesn't not impose a burden.  Established businesses have been known to support government regulation as a means to make the entry of a competitor into the market less likely.

This is a very valid point....though the devil is in the details I suppose.
