The LWV Michigan supports Governor Whitmer’s and Attorney General Nessel’s actions to terminate and permanently revoke the easement that allows Enbridge Line 5 (a Canadian Oil and Natural Gas Liquid Transport Pipeline) to operate in the Straits of Mackinac.
Stopping the Line 5 tunnel is just one of the environmental issues our League’s Environmental and Natural Resources Committee is working on. To join this committee, contact Ann Scott alscott2050@gmail.com or Marcia Meyer marciakmeyer@gmail.com .
