• St. Clair Shores man fined $15K for docking boats, attorney calls ordinance unconstitutional (clickondetroit.com) — A St. Clair Shores waterfront property owner is fighting more than $15,000 in city fines for docking his boats at a vacant lot where he plans to build a home, arguing the local ordinance is unconstitutional. His attorney says the rule unfairly restricts riparian rights and burdens anyone building, while some neighbors allege disruptive boat gatherings; the city isn't commenting during ongoing litigation.
