Walz says state will continue court appeal of Enbridge pipeline approved by PUC

Gov. Tim Walz will continue pursuing a court appeal started by his predecessor that could block Enbridge from building a controversial $2.6 billion oil pipeline across northern Minnesota.

Under former Gov. Mark Dayton, the Commerce Department appealed the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission's (PUC's) decision to allow Enbridge to build the pipeline, a replacement for its aging and corroding Line 3. Last month, the Walz administration said it would review the appeal.
