Work together

To the editor: The political advertisements of both parties seem to use half truths and misleading information much of the time. I want to hear a more honest approach to what they can realistically accomplish with such a divided legislature. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

What they do…

What they do…

To the editor: Board Chair Ty Wessell, bypassed all three female Democrat commissioners and overlooked the most experienced commission, Melinda Lautner, a woman, in order to nominate the least experienced commissioner, Doug Rexroat, to be Vice Chair, a man who didn’t event vote for himself. One of the reasons Jamie Kramer gave her resignation was that she had been ignored and overlooked by Chairman Wessell. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

Enhance what we have

Enhance what we have

To the editor: Oh please! Let’s use what we already have — we don’t need “Porta Johns” in our parking lot on the village Main Street. The two bathrooms we presently have — Haserot Park and playground are both centrally located ad available to the public. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

Support for Tim O’Non

Support for Tim O’Non

To the editor: I attended last Thursday’s Leelanau League of Women Voter’s candidate forum. After hearing the candidates, it became indubitably obvious to the most casual observer that Tim O’Non is the only qualified candidate for drain commissioner. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

Climate change

To the editor: Whether you call it climate change or global warming it impacts us all and it is negatively affecting our planet and our future. Have you noticed how most of our weather events are so extreme. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Time for change

Time for change

To the editor: Recently, Supervisor Och accused the Leland Township Board of balancing budgets by “ignoring” parks and infrastructure. True, we developed an efficient, sustainable budget. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Jim White support

Jim White support

To the editor: Ty Wessell says he’s reduced taxes and improved teamwork on the County Board, but the numbers tell a different story. Spending is up, and taxes have followed. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Decisive leader needed

Decisive leader needed

To the editor: The present County Board has failed to hire a permanent county administrator. Commissioner Kama Ross, representing Leland and Centerville Townships, cast the only no vote against continuing the process in a speedy fashion. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Ross active/dedicated

Ross active/dedicated

To the editor: ACTIONS speak louder than words! Kama Ross has been a very active and dedicated County Commissioner. Personally, I appreciate her leadership and involvement working to resolve the safety issue of M22 between M204 and Leland. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Fortunate to have Wessell

Fortunate to have Wessell

To the editor: We are fortunate to live in beautiful Leelanau County and we are fortunate to have Ty Wessell as our District 4 County Commissioner. Ty has shown himself to be a thoughtful and dedicated leader. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Faith and confidence

Faith and confidence

To the editor: A call was given to Leelanau’s BOC at Tuesday’s meeting to reassure a resident that they firmly believed in the election system and process the Clerk has chosen to use locally is trustworthy. Concerns were shared with the BOC over the past year by numerous local individuals. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Vote for Bahle

To the editor: I was there in 2021 when the Board voted along party lines, without a plan or cost consideration, to reorganize Finance/ HR, and to begin meetings with Christianprayer. And,when the Chair proposed a Right to Life Resolution. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM
