OPINION
_________________________
SUTTON, Chief Judge. Heavy rains prompted the Edenville Dam in Michigan to fail,
flooding several cities downstream. Eight affected landowners sued Midland and Gladwin
Counties, alleging a taking under the federal and state constitutions. The district court granted
summary judgment to the counties. We affirm. |
