Recent reporting has shown there is an expanding PFAS contamination crisis in Michigan and across the country. PFAS chemicals have been linked to liver disease, thyroid dysfunction, and several forms of cancer. These chemicals have continued to show up in drinking water and communities, especially near military facilities, commercial airports, and manufacturing sites. With over 192 sites contaminated, Michigan has the most contaminated sites in the United States.

I am hosting a listening session for residents of Washtenaw County district 9 and others who may be interested on the 1,4 dioxane plume. I want to hear your concerns and expectations regarding clean-up of this plume. Please join us. Former state representative Adam Zemke will be moderating the evening. We will meet in the Fourth Floor Meeting room at the main branch of the AADL. I am eager to hear from you. #katielistenstous

Line 5 is an aging old pipeline beneath the Straits of Mackinac. It carries light crude oil and natural gas, and is owned by the same company (Enbridge) that allowed the Kalamazoo River oil spill to occur. This pipeline poses too great of a risk to our Great Lakes.
