Board flip-flop
Board flip-flop
To the editor: How interesting to read in the Enterprise ( Cleveland Addresses Segment 9) that Jan Nowak, along with Tim Stein and Angie Diotte, have flip flopped on their support of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail route extension. It was, after all, Jan’s motion to support a resolution at the September 10, 2019 Cleveland Township Board meeting in favor of the proposed route. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Dixon considering run in 2026
If you voted for the losing candidate for governor in 2022, you might want to start looking for those Tudor Dixon yard signs stuffed out there in the garage some place. As you are about to read for the first time, she could run again in 2026. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM
Admin. decision left to next board
Admin. decision left to next board
The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners has spent much of the year since February searching for their next county administrator. The administrator is possibly the most powerful non-elected position, as they have authority over all departments to implement decisions by elected officials. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

To the editor: 1. Everyone can and should be who they want to be, genderwise, and otherwise, but the risqué body display for the drag Tea Dance in Northport is not appropriate for children, daytime, or even a photo in Leelanau Enterprise. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Board accomplishments
To the editor: This newspaper paints a picture of our Leelanau County Board of Commissioners as an acrimonious and dysfunctional body, in part by devoting a great deal of attention to minor issues. Yet we should remember that the current bipartisan Board has accomplished a lot, often with support by five out of six commissioners. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

To the editor: The Leland Library is thrilled that our operating millage passed with a resounding 70% margin. This community support provides a strong foundation as we work to enhance our library’s facilities and services. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Take a breathe, still some summer ahead
It’s about that time of year where we are looking ahead to fall. But for me I hate hearing the “F” word because I love summer and events it brings to the peninsula all too much. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

To the editor: For anyone who’s ever attended a BOC meeting, particular attention should be paid to the ‘Approval of Financials’ section. Each Commissioner, on a rotating basis, makes a motion for disbursement of county funds towards specific items. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM
Interests over ambitions
Interests over ambitions
To the editor: Nikki Haley stated, “The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins the election.” Interestingly, Trump, now 78, would be 82 by the end of a potential second term. His recent rallies reveal concerning signs: gibberish, slurred speech, confusion about people and facts. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM
Extension support
Extension support
To the editor: As a former TART Trails and Leelanau Conservancy board member, I celebrate the connections between human recreation and exploration and responsible well planned access to cherished, conserved places. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, winding throughout the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore exemplifies this intersection beautifully. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM
‘On True Greatness’
‘On True Greatness’
To the editor: A recent (unsolicited) Trump MAGA mailing got me to thinking, what is greatness? Foremost seems to be “otherness.” Great people don’t have to tell anyone they’re great. Being “great” isn’t a goal in their life. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM
