Michigan Governor’s Folly Continues

5/21/2020: Michigan governor’s response to the Midland flood is that she will sue the responsible party.

Guess who? The State of Michigan who has oversight and determined the structure was sound.

The following responsible party information from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edenville_Dam

“Following the federal government’s 2018 license revocation, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) took oversight of the dam, which involved temporarily lowering the lake by 7 feet.[11] EGLE determined that the dam was structurally sound.[12]”

“[12] Erin Ailworth; John D. Stoll (May 20, 2020). “Failed Michigan Dam Lost License in 2018”. The Wall Street Journal. Retrieved May 21, 2020. After its license was revoked by FERC, regulation of the Edenville dam was taken over by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy in 2018. Spokesman Nick Assendelft said the agency inspected the dam in October 2018 and found it structurally sound.”

Dr Lanny

Medical doctor, concluded his clinical practice of orthopedic surgery so more time for research and development in cartilage healing. As an orthopedic surgeon he was one of the pioneers in arthroscopic surgery. He has published scientific articles and textbooks, as well as lecturing internationally. His present avocation resulted from a period of incapacity following rotator cuff surgery after which he spend time doing one hand putting. This lead to interest in design of putters and a study of PGA tour player's putting. This resulted in publishing "There is More to Putting than Meets the Eye" with his now friend and partner former PGA tour player, Howard Twitty. He holds more than 40 US patents related to medicine and more than 20 in golf. The most notable to date in medicine is the motorized instrumentation for arthroscopic surgery. In golf, the IP most likely to have an impact is a novel golf grip that enhances the players performance. His Christian up bringing influence remains the focus of his life. He has written several manuscripts, one of which is "A Physician looks at Scriptural Healing." Because of his many diverse interests, he is often asked, "What are you up to now?" The purpose of this BLOG is to regularly answer that question.
