Well….how about we dispense with politics for a minute and talk about something else that is really important to the people of Michigan? Yesterday, governor Whitmer revoked the easement for Enbridge’s line 5 oil pipeline that runs under the Straits of Mackinac and that means that it must be shut down in 180 days…and that is good news for us here since the majority of our drinking water comes from Lake Michigan and Lake Huron and any oil spill in the straits would pollute both lakes and crash our economy. A couple of years ago, we came so close to that spill when a barge dragged it’s anchor across the dual pipelines and it was only by luck that the lines were only dented and not ruptured but how much luck can we count on with pipelines that were installed the year I was born…and I’m really old? Now Embridge has proposed digging a tunnel lined with concrete to put the lines in but why? It’s the reason why there is no offshore oil drilling allowed in the Great Lakes…that any spill would cause damage that the lakes may never recover from and the economic disruption would be catastrophic to the people of Michigan…and all so an oil company who is responsible for the worst oil spill in Michigan history can continue to rake in profits while they put the state at risk? I applaud Governor Whitmer’s tough stance to protect the environment and the people of Michigan…and now we have a dem controlled supreme court that will follow the law and protect Michigan from business that doesn’t give a damn about anything but profit…
