The relationship of social media to ongoing racial and political tensions throughout the U.S. in recent months came to the fore in Leelanau County this week. A 24-year old African-American man from Flint is claiming that he was “profiled” and pulled over on M-22 near Peshawbestown by a Tribal Police officer last weekend on the pretext that his car’s exhaust was too loud. He was then arrested and hauled off to the Leelanau County jail. *** The Village of Northport could be on the hook for up to $25,750 due to the way it handled issuing a land-use permit to a business in the village. At a regular meeting of Northport Village Council via Zoom in May, council received copy of an invoice from Ken and Kelley Radeke, owners of Around the Corner Food & Fun in Northport, who are seeking reimbursement for the charges incurred during a perceived protracted process in acquiring the land-use permit for their Northport business.
