Wisconsin Tribe Says No to Lease and Money for Pipeline
Awhile ago we shared that the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa sued Enbridge Energy to shut down the pipeline that runs through tribal lands. In a publicly released email statement, Enbridge offered $12 million to settle the lawsuit and $2 million annually to keep the pipeline operating. But tribal chair, Mike Wiggins expressed that Enbridge’s leases were rejected and that the lawsuit aims to protect the Bad River watershed. |
