Why Madisonians are Getting in On The Line 5 Fight
For years, the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, with the support of environmental groups, has been fighting to remove a segment of oil pipeline that runs through their northern Wisconsin reservation. Last year, the Wisconsin DNR gave Canadian energy company Enbridge the go ahead to re-route the Line 5 pipeline, but the tribe says that there is still a risk of pollution to their sovereign land and water. Executive producer Hayley Sperling talks with Erin McGroarty about her recent reporting on the continued legal battle and why the Bad River Tribe wants Line 5 shut down.
