At the commission’s regular meeting this week, Road Commission Chairman Bob Joyce accused a fellow commission member of “bullying and intimidating” the commission’s newly-appointed Superintendent/Manager Dave Priest. *** Students and staff at Leelanau County schools recently enjoyed an unplanned winter vacation thanks to Mother Nature.
