What wonderful news, Gailee! Thanks for sharing the positive update. It is so encouraging that the district judge discerned that the charges against Matteson were bogus even before hearing the testimony for the defense. As one reads on further down the article, however, it is disheartening to perceive the magnitude of the organized depravity water protectors face in Aitkin County and the state of Minnesota, where public law enforcement is now being pimped by Enbridge. That this multinational corporation has established a $8.6 million escrow account to β€œreimburse” local law enforcement agencies for their costs of protecting Enbridge’s Line 3, and that the β€œAitkin County Sheriff’s Office received $355,394 in one lump-sum payment March 1 of this year for wages, personal protective equipment, etc.” is deplorable and alarming. Are Minnesota law enforcement agencies neglecting the β€œpublic” they were hired to protect? You cannot serve two masters!

Our congressperson Jack Bergman, for Northern Michigan and the U.P. is bought & paid for by Enbridge, to keep Line 5 going, lying just off the bottom of Lake Michigan where it joins with Lake Huron, atop struts - Whoops. What did that ship anchor just hit? Support Dr. Bob Lorinser for Congress! Thanks

There must be a way to grow public awareness of Enbridge. This company reminds me of NestlΓ© and others.
