Mackinac Island, MI – A ferry operator says it's ending legal action it brought related to a dispute over service to Mackinac Island.
The Petoskey News-Review and the Detroit News report that Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry this week filed motions to dismiss a lawsuit that it filed in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids as well as a complaint with the Michigan Public Service Commission.
Shepler's had sued the City of Mackinac Island and a competitor, accusing them of trying to run other operators out of business. Last month Shepler's received approval on a franchise agreement that lets the company continue serving the popular tourist destination.
The Public Service Commission began an investigation into the island ferries in February.
