Meanwhile in Michigan Senator compares Enbridge suit aid to wrongful imprisonment law
Michigan Senate Republicans adopted a budget amendment Wednesday requiring the Department of Natural Resources to reimburse Enbridge's legal fees if the state loses its challenge to the Canadian company's easement for Line 5 through the Straits of Mackinac.
Senate Appropriations Chairman Jim Stamas, R-Midland, compared the policy to the state's Wrongful Imprisonment Compensation Act, which allows those who were wrongfully convicted of crimes to seek money from the state. Stamas said the state had paid "tens of millions of dollars to the inmates."
"This is very similar to what the state faces also with wrongful imprisonment," Stamas said.
