Transparency

To the editor: While we were pleased the Enterprise called for releasing the raw data from the recent cultural survey, we were disappointed that our paper of record doesn’t seem interested in investigating why Commissioner Kama Ross exchanged 1,250 emails with county employees about the survey. What could such a volume of communication be for? Thank you — Melinda Lautner — for your courage in demanding answers through a Freedom of Information Act request. 02/21/2024 04:57 PM

The ‘Sound of Music’ ringing in reporter’s head

I’m privileged to announce that Glen Lake hall-of-fame basketball coach Don Miller has been chosen as the Owen Bahle Award for Service recipient by the Suttons Bay-Leelanau Rotary Club. It’s basically a “person of the year” selection for Leelanau County. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Allen’s departure sad, board needs to right the ship

The cards were stacked against Deb Allen when she began working as county administrator in January 2023.

Lane change

To the editor: I was once again offended, but not surprised, at Commissioner Lautner’s response to the results of the County employee culture survey. The survey identified serious deficiencies in the work culture and specifically called out Commissioner Lautner’s contribution to the problems. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Border laws defined

To the editor: The “border security” legislation being attempted by big business influenced U.S. Senators is anti-American and would do nothing but encourage more border illegality. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Pause trail extension

Pause trail extension

Merger is positive step

Merger is positive step

To the editor: Merging the Administrator and CFO positions, as reported by the Enterprise, is a positive step towards addressing the organizational instability caused by the May 2021 Board vote. While some may question the timing or reasoning behind the merger, it offers a clearer line of responsibility and accountability for financial planning and administration. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
