Consequence of war

Consequence of war

To the editor: A reader had submitted in last’s week’s paper an article highlighting the accomplishments Biden has made during his time in office. Especially how he has handled the war in Israel. 12/20/2023 09:57 PM

Drugs and addiction

Drugs and addiction

To the editor: We watch what addictive substance is doing to people, from vaping to experimentation with many street drugs that are euphoriants producing a fleeting euphoria armed with addiction. Counseling in prison and county jails, the ugly side of addiction with tragic outcomes is continuous, some seek help and get free of addiction. 12/20/2023 09:57 PM

Explanation sought

Explanation sought

To the editor: I call on our county Prosecutor Hubbell and Judge Hamlyn to offer a written explanation as to why they decided as they did, concerning the tragic loss of Evelyn Kellogg. Arriving at drunk driving causing injury is a far cry from the reality of death, wouldn’t you agree? Bradley Price Northport. 12/20/2023 09:57 PM

‘A magical place’

‘A magical place’

To the editor: Thank you Leelanau County. With the support of you and Toys for Tots of Northern Michigan, we brightened Christmas for over 150 Leelanau County families, more than 460 individuals. 12/20/2023 09:57 PM

Pull up the ladder

Pull up the ladder

To the editor: Reading this past year about the campgrounds proposed — and turned down —-in Leelanau County reminds me of a recent summer vacation. My wife and I rented a condo in Frankfort, and spent one of our days driving, shopping, and hiking Leelanau County. 12/20/2023 09:57 PM

Popular Vote Compact

Popular Vote Compact

To the editor: Do you wonder why legislation supported by a majority of citizens doesn’t become law? Recent examples of proposed legislation that was supported by a majority of citizens but did not pass, include the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act (69% public support), and Dream Act (72% of likely voters supported). 12/20/2023 09:57 PM

Teflon worn thin

Teflon worn thin

To the editor: Do you remember the Maffia mob boss John Gotti — the so called “Teflon John” because he was indicted and tried in three different consecutive trials on felony charges of five murders, obstruction of justice, extortion and racketeering and found guilty. Gotti avoided consequences for his crimes but never once claimed he was being “picked on” or was the object of someone’s animus. 12/20/2023 09:57 PM

Thank you

To the editor: The 2023 Lights, Bites, and Books Gala at the Suttons Bay Bingham District Library is now in the history books. Many thanks to the attendees and donors of items for the silent auction and all the volunteers who worked many hours to make this event happen. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM

Board dysfunction

Board dysfunction

To the editor: I am appalled to read about a costly FOIA request from Commissioner Lautner to obtain information that Commissioner Ross refuses to share. First of all, why does an elected county commissioner even need to request a FOIA to obtain official information required to perform her oversight duties? The real issue is dysfunction on the board of commissioners. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM

Bill precedent-setting

Bill precedent-setting

To the editor: In the Nov. 23rd edition of the Enterprise, we were able to see two contrasting examples of how citizens have the opportunity to impact our community. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM

Job market strong

Job market strong

To the editor: Here is some vital information for everyone’s consideration as our Presidential Election approaches. The jobs report from Friday 12/8 indicates that 199,000 jobs were created in November; Unemployment fell to 3.7% and wages were up 0.4%. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM

Wait a while

To the editor: An adage goes, “there is nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come.” Well, the idea of full green energy has not yet come and won’t for quite a while. But hey, I’m all for it and when you can offer me an affordable non-Chinese-made sedan with a small and SAFE 10-year battery which will go 600 miles at 75 mph and recharges in 30 minutes for $20 I’ll buy one. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM
