The Edenville and Sanford dams failed in 2020. The dam failures also left many lakefront property owners without lakes.

To restore the dams, Midland and Gladwin county commissioners last month approved a local assessment. But many property owners claim the assessment devalues their homes and will drain their savings.

Property owners say the assessment comes at too high a price. Many say paying the assessment will drain their savings and slash the value of their homes.

The dam’s 2020 failure led to tens of millions of dollars in damage and forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes.

Some state election officials complain the recount is a "fishing expedition" by those who question the legitimacy of the nation’s elections.

The failure of the Edenville dam inundated parts of Midland and Gladwin counties. The dam failure also drained Wixom and Sanford lakes.
