As a deadline to close a major pipeline in the Mackinac Straits in Michigan neared, two legislators pushed for a resolution in the Ohio Senate to urge the administration in Michigan to keep the line operating.
Senators Theresa Gavarone, R – Bowling Green, and Ken Yuko, D – Richmond Heights, provided testimony Wednesday before the Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee, asking the committee to support Resolution 41 and press Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Daniel Eichinger, who heads the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, to keep the Enbridge Line 5 operating.
