‘Get out your wallets’

‘Get out your wallets’

To the editor: The survey of county employees that has received so much media attention is full of opinions that are not backed up by data. Has anyone seen the full survey or are we only getting what the author wants to give us? It’s as though the survey came out with the results wanted by certain members of the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners, which is often the rule of survey at any government level. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Urge Congress to act

Urge Congress to act

To the editor: On January 18, 2024 a bipartisan act was passed by the United States Congress and is awaiting President Biden’s signature. It took less than three months to make it to his desk. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Trail will be an asset

Trail will be an asset

To the editor: I live on Little Traverse Lake adjacent to the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. I can’t wait for the completion of the last part of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, Segment 9. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Kudos to housing group

Kudos to housing group

To the editor: Availability of affordable housing in Leelanau County is an ongoing issue. This is true because Leelanau County’s vibrancy requires housing here to be affordable so that folks can live, work and play here. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Tax breaks in an election year?

There’s a reason why governors can’t wait to deliver their annual State of the State message. Actually it’s more than one reason. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Listen and learn before voting

Listen and learn before voting

To the editor: One man: down with Democracy and the Constitution; Fake News; Witch Hunt; Removal of rights for many. None of these issues were in the forefront until Donald Trump unleashed his vitriol. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

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
