RICHMOND HILL - Allen Fore, Kinder Morgan's vice president of public affairs, was the first to speak at a public hearing inside the Richmond Hill City Center regarding the company's proposed Palmetto Pipeline project. That was the last positive spin the 360-mile pipeline got for most of the night. Speaker after speaker stood up before a packed room to voice opposition to the pipeline and Kinder Morgan's application to the Georgia Department of Transportation for a certificate of necessity and convenience.
