"restoring the Lakes" from Gladwin County Record

This week, Max McDonald at The Gladwin County Record published an article that shares facts and context around FLTF and its funding efforts. Here are a few excerpts:

"When bi-partisan legislation to fund dam safety measures was announced back in May we began to see a glimmer of the 'light at the end of the tunnel.' Cliché?

​"The collection of talent/expertise found within the group [Four Lakes Task Force] has moved the restoration process forward at a remarkable rate.
