Affordable housing gains have a long way to go

Affordable housing gains have a long way to go

Slow and steady wins the race. But given the lack of affordable housing in the county, the finish line is some distance away. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Trust Ty

To the editor: This summer I slipped into a seat at the Northport Community Band Concert. I wasn’t surprised to see Ty Wessell a row in front of me. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Support for White

Support for White

To the editor: I am endorsing Jim White for County Commissioner for his ability to lead people, manage money and pay attention to detail when it comes to being responsible for other people’s money and resources. He has proven this in pursuit of answers about issues such as the Green Energy grant, Broad Band, and the low moral in our government offices. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

A win for all

To the editor: Kama has been an activist and a fighter for the people. She reaches across the aisle coming to compromises with board members that results in 6-1 or 7-0 votes on critical issues. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Solar energy, common sense

Solar energy, common sense

To the editor: I strongly urge the Leelanau Board of Commissioners to move forward in adopting solar energy at the Leelanau County Government Center - especially if the county has the good fortune of receiving a state grant to cover the cost. My husband and I installed solar panels 5 years ago at our home in Glen Arbor Township and are extremely happy with their performance. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Conley for supervisor

Conley for supervisor

To the editor: Leelanau Township voters will elect a new board in November. In the past few years, turnover has been high for the position of township supervisor. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Costs v. benefit

Costs v. benefit

To the editor: The Leelanau Co Board of Commissioners is about to vote on a solar project at the government center that costs 1 million dollars. Supporters claim the project will save 35 thousand dollars a year, however they fail to include the additional expenses required in the contract to purchase electric vehicles to replace the county’s fleet along with the cost of maintenance and charging stations. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Common sense matters

Common sense matters

To the editor: Vote for Tim O’Non for drain commissioner. Let’s put our political views aside and vote with common sense. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Barr is genuine

Barr is genuine

To the editor: Callie Barr offers us a genuine, well -rounded and grounded candidate for our 1st Congressional District . She is of an age and position in life that would bring a real life approach to lessening the many travails our families face. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Kirch, Scales & Mitchell

Kirch, Scales & Mitchell

To the editor: Please vote for Mariann Kirch, for Leland Township Trustee, Steve Scales for Trustee and Clint Mitchell for Supervisor. I know them and they are excellent candidates. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Vote for Ty

To the editor: At their best, Commissioners lead by example, and this is what Ty Wessell does, consistently demonstrating qualities of decency, respect, a willingness to listen, and the flexibility needed to work together. Some of us remember the days when the Commission kept getting stuck in partisan standoff s. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Popa’s legacy

Popa’s legacy

To the editor: John Popa was a passionate critic of the solar panel project at the government center and warned it would be a significant waste of taxpayer money. The Board of Commissioners is set to vote on this costly project before the end of the month. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM
