Mr. Speaker, in addition to it being an election promise that the governor ran on, I think it is interesting to note that the State of Michigan has approved two of the four permits to build this tunnel. Why would the State of Michigan be approving these things if the governor was definitely shutting this line down? I would say that it does show a willingness and that she understands that the tunnel project is the appropriate solution to this issue.
I think that she also has some people potentially running against her, so there are political things at play in terms of making sure that she sticks with her promise. However, I think she would love for somebody to intervene and overrule her at this point.
