"[Worth Township, Mich] All a homeowner wanted was to remodel his cottage.
Thirteen years later, the work remains undone. But everything else in this
woody lakefront resort in the Thumb has turned upside down. A series of
mistakes by local officials fighting the renovation led to a nearly $1
million judgment against the township last year. Lacking adequate insurance,
it levied a special assessment against its 3,800 residents last month."
