Michigan Suffers Setback in Its Effort to Close Line 5

Here’s another twist in the legal battle over the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline, initiated by leaders in that state up north. A federal judge has refused to remand the case to a Michigan county court. Fortunately, this is a setback for Michigan’s efforts to shut down the pipeline, reports say.

If Line 5 were shut down, Ohio would bear the brunt of an estimated $20.8 billion in economic losses. The OMA is on record in support of the pipeline remaining operational. 8/25/2022
