UPPER MICHIGAN – On the Michigan side Governor Gretchen Whitmer filed a response brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Enbridge’s lawsuit over the Line 5 dual pipelines under the Straights of Mackinac Friday.  Governor Whitmer’s brief, stated that Line 5 constitutes an unparalleled risk to the public and the health of the Great Lake and that Enbridge has a “troubling environmental record.”  The pipelines sit exposed on the lakebed in the Straits of Mackinac and transport oil through the Great Lakes.
