Senator compares Enbridge suit aid to wrongful imprisonment law

Lansing Michigan Senate Republicans adopted a budget amendment Wednesday requiring the Department of Natural Resources to reimburse Enbridge s legal fees if the state loses its challenge to the Canadian company s easement for Line 5 through the Straits of Mackinac.
Senate Appropriations Chairman Jim Stamas, R-Midland, compared the policy to the state s Wrongful Imprisonment Compensation Act, which allows those who were wrongfully convicted of crimes to seek money from the state. Stamas said the state had paid tens of millions of dollars to the inmates. This is very similar to what the state faces also with wrongful imprisonment, Stamas said.

Lansing Dozens of activists gathered on the Capitol lawn Thursday and marched to a nearby office building to deliver Line 5 eviction notices to offices belonging to Enbridge Energy and its lobbyists.
The group, organized by Oil and Water Dont, carried signs denouncing the controversial pipeline span in the Straits of Mackinac and others calling for Climate Action Now as they also delivered a thank you note to the office of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Other activists planned to deliver similar eviction notices Thursday to Enbridge s pump station in Mackinaw City.
The action comes a day after the state-ordered deadline for the Canadian oil giant to close its 68-year-old dual span, which can carry up to 540,000 barrels of light crude oil and natural gas liquids a day from the Upper Peninsula to the Lower Peninsula.
