Enbridge Energy technically has one more day to shut down the Line 5 pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac, but even the pipeline’s most vocal opponents acknowledge slim odds that the oil actually stops flowing right away.
In the six months since Governor Gretchen Whitmer gave Enbridge 180 days to stop transporting petroleum across the tempestuous waterway that links Lakes Michigan and Huron, and the four months since Enbridge vowed to defy her, state officials have been adamant that the order still stands.

ANN ARBOR, MI - After four years of arguing he should have access to the papers of anti-immigration activist John Tanton housed at the University of Michigan because they are a public record, a Virginia-based attorney will get to make his case in an upcoming trial.
The Michigan Supreme Court ruled in a dispositive order Friday, April 9, affirming by equal division of the court in a 3-3 vote a 2019 decision by the Court of Appeals that said the sealed off records should be considered public record. When there is no majority on a Supreme Court vote, the lower court ruling stands. The decision came after the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case on Jan. 6.
Mystery Bird Spotted in Lubbock Lake
So exactly what kind of bird is this?
I ve heard a different number of opinions on this bird in a Lubbock lake. The first person thought it was a pelican, then someone said egret, then stork and, of course, the comment about it being a weird duck is in jest.
My friend and local realtor, Elizabeth Welch, spotted the bird in the lake at Maxey Park. The bird certainly looks comfortable there and is clearly enjoying a delicious fish treat, but it still looks out of place with the usual waterfowl that we get in and around the Hub City.
