Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is threatening to go after Enbridge's profits from a Great Lakes oil pipeline if it isn't shut down.
The Democratic governor issued the warning Tuesday in a letter to Enbridge, a Canadian oil transport company.
Whitmer ordered the company last November to close the line by Wednesday, May 12. She agrees with environmentalists and native tribes that a section of Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac is vulnerable to a spill.

Line 5 runs from Superior, Wisconsin, to Sarnia, Ontario through northern Wisconsin and Michigan.
