To the editor:
Last year the Leelanau County GOP helped derail an ill-conceived and potentially expensive boondoggle pushed by the Energy Futures Task Force on the Board of Commissioners. Now they want to force Cherryland Electric to go completely green and renewable, think solar and wind energy. One might think a GOP controlled county board would stop that in its tracks, but when the county administrator is running to get elected to the Cherryland Board, that raises a big question. Is the administrator the majority GOP board elected a cat’s paw for green energy extremists? He supports the 100% renewable policy and that will increase the cost of electricity in this county for every Cherryland customer. It will also be less reliable, and unnecessary with the restart of the Palisades nuclear power plant. No man serves on master well. Where will Jim Dyer’s loyalties will land if he is on the Cherryland board AND serving as county administrator. Jim Dyer needs to have one client loyalty the taxpayers of Leelanau County.
