To the editor: Yes, Biden will forget Jill’s birthday, but he’ll remember that the wealth of the top 1% of our country’s citizens is greater than the lower 90%. He’ll forget the date Apollo 11 landed on the moon, but he’ll remember that one nation is not allowed to take over another by force or else the doors to naked aggression will be thrown open and those of peaceful world order will be closed. 02/21/2024 04:57 PM

To the editor: OK, let me speak to the truth and confront the ignorance of the foreign owned Fox “news” network. I have significant knowledge of this issue as my brother, who passed away Memorial Day, was from the beginning of the 1980s to the year 2000 and Director of the Department of Immigration Litigation in the Civil Division of the Department of Justice. 02/21/2024 04:57 PM

To the editor: Representative Bergman, I know my memos go into your “dead” file but as a constituent, I need to post one again. Congress has taken a two week recess and when it returns, it has only 3 days before a potential government shutdown. 02/21/2024 04:57 PM

To the editor: What happens to a country who’s government does not embrace its immigration law? Illegal entry to a country is intrusion and insults those who have come to America legally. People are coming from many places to escape corruption and wrong treatment and some to purposely do harm. 02/21/2024 04:57 PM

Both parties have dissension among ranks
There’s no way to quantify this, but suffice it to say reams and reams of column inches have been gobbled up as reporters chronicle the continuing dramatic soap opera within the state Republican Party now in its second year concerning who is the legit party chair. 02/21/2024 04:57 PM
Winter festivals, activities brings communities together
Winter festivals, activities brings communities together
If there’s one thing northern Michiganders know how to do best, it’s how to have fun and bring the community together in the middle of winter. This President’s Day weekend in Leelanau County was evidence of just that, with families, friends, and local small businesses getting outside to celebrate in popular annual events like the Yeti Fest in Suttons Bay and Winterfest Chili Cook-Off/Perch Fishing Contest in Glen Arbor. 02/21/2024 04:57 PM

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
