Opinion

Over-reaction

To the editor: Citizens of Leelanau County should feel that their county commissioners truly listen to what they say. That was not so with commissioner Kama Ross at a Leelanau County Board of Commissioners meeting on Dec. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Study ‘amateurish’

Study ‘amateurish’

To the editor: I read the partial results of the Organizational Cultural Survey. The survey was amateurish and unprofessional. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Disappointed

To the editor: A survey seems to come out as fast as the internet can send them, and they have something in common. They are based on tabulated responses so that the survey taker’s role is mathematical rather than opinionated. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Spending out of hand

Spending out of hand

To the editor: A letter in the Jan. 18 issue is wrong in asserting that tax cuts have caused the dramatic and unsustainable increase in the national debt. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Know the workforce

Know the workforce

To the editor: Leadership training is not going to fix the toxic work environment in Leelanau County Government by itself. Leadership training can provide useful tools in developing a leader, but a lot more ingredients go into the formula to produce effective leaders. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Governor, legislators at odds on spending

Time for clean energy/property rights

To the editor: 2023 was the warmest in the last 150 years. Climate change now threatens our economy, 1 trillion $/year. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Rowing event in the offifing

To the editor: For those who saw George Clooney’s “Boys in the Boat” at the Bay Theater, remember the 54 Olympic athletes powering 60ft. boats - Ln1: Germany; Ln2: Italy; Ln3: Switzerland; Ln4: Hungary; Ln5: Great Britain; Ln6: USA; then the epic photofi nish that secured GOLD for USA? Imagine the same boat race, but you’re cheering on your own kids, grandkids, friends, neighbors. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Feeling appreciated goes a long way

The end of a year is always a time to look back, particularly when it aligns with a major life event. About a year ago on Jan. 6, 2023, I made the difficult decision to turn in my twoweek notice at my previous job at a small news outlet in Flint with no backup plan, going into limbo for three months before I found my new home at Leelanau Enterprise. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Commissioners need raw survey data

Commissioners need raw survey data

Efforts by the County Board of Commissioners (BOC) intended to improve working conditions and efficiency in the county building continue to fester in controversy and hurt feelings.

A snow-filled, celebratory January

If there was any indication that 2024 is going to be a great year, both the big and small wins in the first two weeks of January alone would be it. First off — what a great time it is to be a Michigan sports fan, whether you know all the rules and plays of the games or not. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM
