From the article Champ linked to.....

"Instead, the company’s owner, Lee Mueller of Las Vegas, insisted that nearby property owners should help foot the bill for repairs at Edenville as well as at the downstream Sanford Dam.

Unless property owners helped pay to fix the dam’s issues, Mueller said in 2013, drawdowns were necessary to ensure flood safety."

I say all the residents and businesses affected by the flood should sue the State for negligence and loss of their goods and properties in a huge class action suit. The state of Michigan was derelict in their duties to protect them from flooding and damage. The state was warned back in 1993 and did nothing? Horse hockey!
