Fortunate to have Wessell

Faith and confidence

Faith and confidence

To the editor: A call was given to Leelanau’s BOC at Tuesday’s meeting to reassure a resident that they firmly believed in the election system and process the Clerk has chosen to use locally is trustworthy. Concerns were shared with the BOC over the past year by numerous local individuals. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Vote for Bahle

To the editor: I was there in 2021 when the Board voted along party lines, without a plan or cost consideration, to reorganize Finance/ HR, and to begin meetings with Christianprayer. And,when the Chair proposed a Right to Life Resolution. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

‘I trust Lois’

‘I trust Lois’

To the editor: It’s clear to me that Will Bunek does not intend to play well with others. He criticized the League for not starting its Forum with a prayer and Pledge of Allegiance. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Vote for Och

To the editor: When you cast your vote for Leland Township Supervisor, I would strongly encourage you to vote for Susan Och. I had an opportunity to serve on the Township board with Susan for many years. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Ross committed

To the editor: As a former County Commissioner, there was no question in my mind that Kama Ross would make an exceptional County Commissioner when I encouraged her to run for District 5—and she has exceeded my expectations. What I didn’t know was how incredibly responsive she would be helping so many individuals find solutions to their problems. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Don’t trust liars

Don’t trust liars

To the editor: In a recent forum, the Republican was asked about the integrity of our election process. He expressed trust and confidence in our local officials … but did not trust the machines. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Choose wisely

To the editor: When I look at candidates for local office, I look at two criteria that are more important to me than whether they are a Democrat or a Republican: Do they have a history of local involvement as a volunteer trying to help the community? Do they have a work history or educational background that prepares them for community service? Look at the resumes of the candidates — have they done meaningful work to help the community already? Do they have a work history that shows their commitment to public welfare? Choose wisely. Rick Gans Northport. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM
