Erosion has devastated many properties along Lake Michigan, prompting local officials to request financial help from Governor Holcomb in Indianapolis. The state responded by rejecting the request for federal disaster funds, disbelieving that damage was sufficient enough to declare an emergency. Since then, Holcomb has said he will visit the lakefront to inspect it for himself, which raises the question: did state officials believe the pictures that they were sent were Photoshopped?
