KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — The Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners have approved a resolution that supports shutting down of Enbridge’s Line 5, twin oil pipelines that run beneath the Straits of Mackinac.
The board voted 7-3 in favor of the resolution Tuesday night at the end of a meeting that lasted more than four hours and included some passionate and tense moments between citizens and board members.
