ABC of Greater Michigan lawsuit alleges that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's (D) construction opening executive orders eliminate due process and increase penalties for contractors without new laws being passed to do so.

10,000 Midland County, Mich., residents were forced to leave their homes when heavy rains May 19 and 20 swelled the Titabawassee River to a record high and caused the Edenville and Sanford dams to fail.

New executive order will open up the state's residential and commercial construction sectors. Public works projects were already exempted from Michigan's stay-at-home order.

Midwest states with large-population, metropolitan areas mostly plan to extend stay-at-home orders, while smaller population states never had a stay-at-home order to begin with or are planning to let them expire as reported cases of COVID-19 decrease.
