Over-reaction

To the editor:

Citizens of Leelanau County should feel that their county commissioners truly listen to what they say. That was not so with commissioner Kama Ross at a Leelanau County Board of Commissioners meeting on Dec. 29.

Ross over-reacted after a citizen spoke during public comment at that meeting, leading an observer to question whether she cares about the people she pretends to represent. Following the public comment, she said that, “You can run for office; I encourage you with your passion to do something about it, and just don’t complain.”
