Dirty v. clean

To the editor: Some of our county commissioners are enamored with green energy projects, but are apparently unaware of the costs, environmental impacts, and reliability issues. Mother Earth News reports in their article “Dirty Drawbacks of Clean Energy” from June/July 2024, lithium mining is intensely damaging to the environment. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Benson eyeing governor’s seat?

Usually in this town, there is one major state capitol news development each week that warrants a deeper dive via an extended column in this news hole. Not this week. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Peer supports Grant

Peer supports Grant

To the editor: It is my pleasure to write this letter in strong support of Jennifer Grant, seeking re-election of Leelanau County Register of Deeds. Jennifer started her career working for Leelanau Title and in 2010 began serving Leelanau County Register of Deeds. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Support for Ugalde

Support for Ugalde

To the editor: Regardless of your party affiliation, vote for Jolisa Ugalde for treasurer. She is the only candidate with experience in township government. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Lake Michigan commands respect

Lake Michigan commands respect

The Great Lakes really are inland seas and should be recognized as such by everyone. But more specifically those who enjoy recreating in the water. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

A column by Alan Campbell

Civil trial teaches reporter

A civil trial in Leelanau that occurred nearly two decades ago taught me much about our legal system. As the judicial branch of government has come under attack from both sides of the aisle, I’ve been reflecting back at what occurred here. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Check facts

To the editor: I just read the front-page article “District 1 Commissioner, Kramer Resigns.” I am chagrin that the Enterprise, a usually thorough and accurate publication, messed this one up. You stated that Kramer accused the County Commission, County staff and the Commission Chairperson of all kinds of dastardly offenses. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

An informed, involved electorate

An informed, involved electorate

To the editor: Celebrating the 4th of July, I am reminded of a Benjamin Franklin quotation that has always stuck with me. When leaving the Constitutional Convention, he was asked what kind of government had been created. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Afraid

To the editor: To my “enemies”: I am afraid the news I’m hearing is very different from the news you’re hearing. I’m afraid you’re listening to lies, and worse, believing lies. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Platform, or lack of...

Platform, or lack of...

To the editor: Does Trump have an actual platform, other than revenge? In his rambling speeches, and remarks, I hear whining and attacking democrats. He demeans the legal system for his treatment but “get ‘em” if it’s his opposition. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Renew library millage

Renew library millage

To the editor: I’m writing this letter to encourage Suttons Bay and Bingham Township voters to support the renewal of our library millage. This renewed, not increase, millage would enable the library to continue to provide activities and services for our communities such as weekly storytime offered year-round, public WiFi and computer, a monthly book club, technology classes in spring and fall, use of a community meeting room, special items to borrow such as toys and musical instruments, and so much more. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Fan of Merlin

To the editor: I would like to add a hearty second to Alan Campbell’s suggestion in last week’s Enterprise to download the Merlin bird song identification app to your phone and rediscover the birdscape around us. As a lifelong bird watcher, I thought I pretty much knew the birds that visit our yard and feeders. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM
