Wessell, ‘inclusive, respectful’

Wessell, ‘inclusive, respectful’

To the editor: The article on the resignation of commissioner Jamie Kramer cites reasons for the resignation were time constraints, dissatisfaction with the chairman, the culture survey, and concerns about unequal treatment of women. As a long-time advocate for equality, I am compelled to address the statement about “sexual discrimination” as implied toward chairman, Ty Wessell Respectfully, my experience is contrary to what was implied in the article. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Fair elections

To the editor: Why are Democrats against a Republican-sponsored bill requiring voter ID to vote in federal elections? Is it because they’re planning to commit massive voter fraud? It’s required to show an ID to board a plane, receive welfare benefits, visit health-care facilities, etc. Every legitimate vote should be protected to insure fair elections, and no one should vote for any politician who opposes this SAVE Act. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Not discounted

Protesters v. Insurrectionists

To the editor: “Former Democrat and Leftist Sasha Stone’s July 4 Substack column deserves a read. Special attention should be given to this passage: “My friends on the Left believe that “both sides” are equal in their mass delusion. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

To the editor: I cannot speak highly enough of Parenting Communities. Raising very young children in a rural area can be so isolating, yet I am more connected to the Leelanau community than ever as a direct result of this incredible program. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM
