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

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

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

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

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

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
