‘Time for … results’
To the editor: The Democrat-led Board, under Ty Wessell and Gwenne Allgaier, promised to fix the county’s financial problems but has only increase the burden on taxpayers.

To the editor: On Leelanau 633, just south of Herman Road, there is a sign with a flashing light to warn drivers traveling to the north to slow down, with the light flashing during school hours. This light has not worked for two years. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

One of the reasons Jamie Kramer gave her resignation was that she had been ignored and overlooked by Chairman Wessell. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

To the editor: Oh please! Let’s use what we already have — we don’t need “Porta Johns” in our parking lot on the village Main Street. The two bathrooms we presently have — Haserot Park and playground are both centrally located ad available to the public. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

Support for Tim O’Non
To the editor: I attended last Thursday’s Leelanau League of Women Voter’s candidate forum. After hearing the candidates, it became indubitably obvious to the most casual observer that Tim O’Non is the only qualified candidate for drain commissioner. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM
