Tribes ask Michigan Supreme Court to review Enbridge Line 5 tunnel approval

Four Michigan tribes and the water advocacy group For Love of Water are asking the Michigan Supreme Court to review a state decision allowing Enbridge Energy to build a tunnel for its Line 5 pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac. They argue the Public Service Commission failed to uphold constitutional and environmental protections. The appeal cites violations of the Michigan Environmental Protection Act and the public trust doctrine.
