@johnkrasinski @somegoodnews - in just 1 week, our amazing community via @grndwk raised $130K for Local Food Relief Fund! This will buy fresh produce from local farmers, fill area food pantries & feed needy families 🌾🥕🌽 #resilient #community https://t.co/9iZZiMJ0td

@onetoughnerd Wrong - it provides @Enbridge with a workaround to compliance with environmental reviews, and access to tax-free land rights.

Considering safety record since 2010 spill, plus April anchor strike, the next 7-10 years are more dangerous than ever for #GreatLakes.

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

My wife and unborn child happen to be in Lansing today, where Michigan Senate is working overtime to sell out our state's natural beauty.

I have never been so disgusted by my state.

How am I supposed to explain this to them @onetoughnerd? @MIGOP @wayneschmidt #shame #MILEG

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@LeeChatfield @onetoughnerd will your new Tunnel Authority have the ability to exercise eminent domain?

Why should we let the government take away people's private property for @Enbridge?

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@MIGOP Waiting for your next tweet about today's 700 point decrease...

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@rambolau I saw/heard that and 100% thought of you 😆

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

This #GivingTuesday, @onetoughnerd has selected @Enbridge as the recipient of his generous giveaways.

Unfortunately, he is giving away 99 years of our rights to #GreatLakes and #cleanwater. This is a bad deal for #PureMichigan.

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@onetoughnerd @freep Why not use those same skilled builders to construct smaller pipeline from Superior WI to Rapid River plant?

This would A) protect #GreatLakes, B) provide #MIjobs, and C) safeguard UP heating supplies.

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@onetoughnerd In theory, we have "no-murder" zones, yet murders still happen. Everything is a "no-speeding" zone, yet people still speed.

Making the Straits a "no-anchor" zone does *not* protect against another anchor strike.

The only way to truly protect #GreatLakes is to #ShutDownLine5

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@SchuetteOnDuty @MIGOP You've been saying that about Line 5 for years...and yet still you do nothing.

If you won't do your job as AG, how can we expect you to to as Governor?

#migov #GreatLakes

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@onetoughnerd @SchuetteOnDuty @MIGOP @MichiganDNR - Remind me again why we should trust @Enbridge with the safety of our #GreatLakes for the next 7-10 years?

Line 5 is damaged goods, and it continues to put our state at risk.

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@aribadler @onetoughnerd @MichiganDNR @MichiganRadio @StatesideRadio Given the explosion/rupture of @Enbridge pipeline that occurred earlier today, how can we continue to allow Line 5 to operate in its damaged condition?

How can we rely on their "internal inspection data" when these incidents keep happening? #GreatLakes #Complicit

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@SchuetteOnDuty @MIGOP What's next? We "can't afford" to repair our infrastructure? We "can't afford" to invest in public education? We "can't afford" to increase access to healthcare?

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@whatchagonnasa @onetoughnerd Not true. I will continue to ask the questions: "why are Michiganders bearing all the risk for @Enbridge profits?" and "why am I responsible for getting this Canadian product to market?"

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@onetoughnerd What are you doing about the risk to #GreatLakes over next 7-10 years, before the pipeline is constructed? @Enbridge #Line5 will be 75 years old, at that point, wayyy past its 50-yr lifespan.

"Passing laws to prevent anchor strikes" isn't the same as preventing anchor strikes.

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@onetoughnerd Why, as a CPA and business professional, would you risk Michigan's greatest asset (#GreatLakes) for the sake of a foreign energy company? Locking our #PureMichigan into a 99-year contract isn't responsible, it's madness.

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@onetoughnerd Who is the "We" in this case? You and @Enbridge? You have continually bent over backwards to ignore the public & negotiate secret agreements with Canadian energy firm. You are protecting shareholders, not #GreatLakes.

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@bobbyjoeybilly @onetoughnerd @MichiganDems @MIGOP He literally signed an agreement that was negotiated behind closed-doors, with a multi-billion $ foreign energy company, to give them 99 years of control over #GreatLakes. How is this pro-environment?

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@LPL4LG @MIGOP Speaking of diversions, what is position of @SchuetteOnDuty on Nestlé water withdrawal? Is $200/year a reasonable fee for pumping 400gpm of our State's groundwater, then selling it outside of our watershed?

[Aaron Jenkins @jenki162]

@LPL4LG @MIGOP @SchuetteOnDuty has said for years that Line 5's "days are numbered"...why should we believe that he'd set a "specific timeline" for decommissioning?

How would he be any less of an @Enbridge puppet than @onetoughnerd? #migov
