Michigan flood victims seek accountability over Edenville dam
Attorney Ven Johnson represents nearly 300 clients in a lawsuit accusing Michigan regulators of failing to enforce safety rules on the Edenville Dam. The 2020 failure spawned widespread damage, forced 3,000 claimants to seek compensation, and could stretch into 2024 as the case faces appeals from the state. The incident left Sanford with significant business losses and residents displaced.

Democrats press to broaden gun sale background checks in Michigan
Democrats in Michigan renewed their push to require background checks on all gun sales including rifles and shotguns. Bills in a GOP controlled legislature would expand state law to cover private and online transactions, addressing gaps not covered by federal rules for unlicensed sellers. Senator Rosemary Bayer argued private sales enable offenders and those with mental health issues to obtain long guns, citing over 15,000 gun deaths this year and polling showing broad public support for universal checks.
