11/13/12 - A Livingston County woman says she's upset that a U.S. flag was flown improperly on Veterans Day at a staging area for work on an oil pipeline company's project. The American flag was seen Sunday flying underneath another flag near Whitmore Lake Road in Green Oak Township instead of above it. Oceola Township resident Beth Duman, a long-time critic of Enbridge, says the flags were in the same position Friday and called it an example of arrogance. "All of us who have dealt with (Enbridge) personally know how arrogant they are and how they don't seem to really care about us. That just rubbed it in even worse. My gosh, these guys think their company tops our country? That's just a sign of what 'Big Oil' thinks of our country" Enbridge Energy spokesman Jason Manshum said Monday the flag placement was a mistake that has been corrected. He also apologized. The Michigan pipeline is replacing one that runs from Griffith, Ind., to Sarnia, Ontario. Calgary-based Enbridge Inc.'s current pipeline burst in 2010 near Marshall, dumping more than 800,000 gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River system. (Photo supplied by Beth Duman)
