Groups to discuss oil pipelines during bridge walk

MACKINAW CITY, Mich. (AP) — Environmentalists will use the annual Mackinac Bridge walk to raise awareness about oil pipelines in the area and urge Gov. Rick Snyder to make sure they won’t leak into the Great Lakes.

Representatives of the “Oil and Water Don’t Mix” coalition say they’ll attend the Labor Day event to discuss two lines that run beneath the Straits of Mackinac, carrying about 23 million gallons of oil each day.
