In her ongoing audition to be Joe Bidens veep pick, Michigan Governess Gretchen Whitmer all but convicted a private dam owner for the disastrous floods that struck the middle of the state last Wednesday.
However, it wasnt the dam company that was trying to save a few clamsit was Whitmers radical attorney general, Dana Nessel.
Nessel was suing the dam company to raise the lake level three feet in order to save musselsboth endangered and commonand in their response, the dam company cited safety as a reason for not doing so.
But to Dana Nessel, who is also suing to keep Michigans chilly Upper Peninsula from having a reliable source of propane, citing an imaginary concern over a pipeline across the Straits of Mackinac, people come second. A distant second.
For decades, federal regulators demanded changes to the design of the Edenville Dam to make it more likely to withstand heavy rains and avoid flooding.
So when Michigan regulators assumed oversight of the dam in late 2018 after its owners lost their federal license to generate energy, they took action.
To protect mussels.
Three weeks before the 96-year-old dam failed this week amid heavy rains and caused the worst flood in Midland history, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel sued its owner, alleging it illegally lowered Wixom Lake in 2018 and 2019, killing thousands if not millions, of freshwater mussels.
Defendants wrongfully exerted dominion over the freshwater mussels and caused their death which denies and is inconsistent with the states right to them, state lawyers wrote in an April lawsuit.

By what?
Come to think of it, her face is sort of shaped like a bicycle seat...
I don't know what it's supposed to mean in American Sign Language (for the deaf). But in middle school, a big "L" with thumb and forefinger means, "Loser!"
Priceless.
L for LOSER pointing at the Real Doll wanna be investor.
That pic reminds me of the women that destroyed Star Wars...
Excellent point. Surprise youtube hasn't banned that video for incitement.
Looking at the kids, I'd say Pete Buttgrieg.
If this is true...then...just d-mn!
WE need to get it in Trumps radar repeatedly!!!
wisconsin is also roughly 50/50 but we get the illinois cheating machine helping madison and milwaukee libs busing people,in.
Ayn Rand could have included this disaster in one of her novels.
Non Wisconsin residents arriving by bus to illegally vote?
A shame if some buses don't make it. Mechanical or other problems come up. A real shame.
It’s been going on for a long time.
Bussed into the milwaukee, racine and kenosha areas, and some from areas in north illinois further west, into the madsion area.
Well, tell ‘em to git. Git you varmints or taste my shotgun pellets.
Seriously, someone in our mamby pamby soft and cuddy GOP should fight them hard for their election crimes. Our country is at stake. Dems and socialists will NOT be nonviolent and law abiding like we have been when they take power again. God help us all.
Getting a bit sunburned...
.
Well, there won’t be issues of not social distancing on boats on the affected MI lakes and river! Gestapo Gretchen is pleased.
And, there will soon be many cheap ex-waterfront homes available!
Clearly the dyke failed.
