Specific Purpose:
To inform my speech class about the different sides of allowing the Bakken pipeline through Iowa.
Thesis:
Legislators are going to have to put their heads together and weigh the pros and cons of pipeline to make the right decision.
Introduction: Imagine a pipe 30 inches in diameter and 346 miles long stretching through Iowa with oil pumping through it.
Dakota Access, LLC., an energy company, is proposing exactly that to the Iowa legislator.

Once the pipeline is finished, the thousands of jobs will be gone, and the workers will be out of a job.
Most of these thousands of jobs are probably going to go to out of state workers also.
Both of these things will boost our economy for awhile, but once the job is done, it will cause it to plummet.
Transition: With jobs from the pipeline being able to both benefit and damage the economy, there are many other factors that could also effect our state financially.
The economy is what determines the health of our state.
The pipeline could help our state become more financially stable.
Dakota Access, LLC is going to have to pay for property taxes where it runs.
Farmers will save money this way by not having to pay for that portion of their taxes.
This money goes to local communities and schools to help our state progress.
Farmers will also receive a fair price for their land that will also go back into the economy and benefit our
