PORTER, Ind. (AP) — A federal appeals court has refused to overturn an Indiana Supreme Court ruling, later codified into Indiana law, that said the shoreline of Lake Michigan is — and still has summer – state property for public use.
In Wednesday’s 3-0 ruling, the 7th Court of Appeals for the U.S. Circuit in Chicago said the three lakeside landowners in the town of Porter who claim their holdings include a private beach do not have standing to challenge the Indiana High Court’s decision and status in federal court, The Times (from Northwest Indiana) reported.
