A tip of the hat to Northport’s Dan Scripps

It’s a pleasure to share Leelanau County with Dan Scripps.

A reluctant attorney — Mr. Scripps has spent the bulk of his time since U-M law school advocating for clean energy rather than defending clients — he’s never forgotten his ties to Northport, where he’s quietly raising a family.

But Mr. Scripps’ attribute that sticks out most has nothing to do with passion for his beliefs nor family values, as admirable as those may be.
