With thanks

To the editor: I would like to give a big shout-out to Leland Township Trustee Clint Mitchell, who was instrumental in getting a trespassing snow fence moved off of the public beach at Reynolds Street. On September 23, the obstruction, which violates the settlement agreement signed by parties to the Janko lawsuit, was moved to the proper side of the public access pole. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Reelect Wessell

Reelect Wessell

To the editor: I am writing in support of Ty Wessell for District 4 Commissioner. As a resident of Leelanau Township for nine years, I have seen a number of changes in our county government meetings, including more citizen participation, rancor and disagreement than sometimes seems productive. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Wessell … ‘public servant’

Wessell … ‘public servant’

To the editor: While political polarization seems to be at an all time high, there are mutually shared concerns and common ground issues that seem to bridge the partisan divide. The vast majority of us support our farmers and local agriculture. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Not so sweet

To the editor: At the Cherry Pie debate, Jim White raised an important point about rising county spending. I didn’t realize our spending has increased by nearly 30% over the past 2-1/2 years, while taxes are up almost 20%. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

History repeating itself

History repeating itself

To the editor: I recently read articles on the National Park Service and the dock disputes on N. Manitou Island. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Vote for Wessell

Vote for Wessell

To the editor: Ty Wessell is the perfect ingredient for a Leelanau County Commissioner recipe. He is the leavening agent which enables bi-partisanship. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Newcomers in Empire

Newcomers in Empire

To the editor: There are three newcomers to the Village of Empire political scene. Andrew Clements (55), a young family man and business man. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Spending increases

To the editor: The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners has lost the respect it once had. To restore accountability, I urge you to vote for Al Campbell this November. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Campbell cares

To the editor: Please vote for Al Campbell as your next county commissioner for Leelanau County. He has been a tireless volunteer for many causes including providing scholarships for both our young and adult residents, and helping handicapped people get outdoors and enjoy life. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Ross ‘green’ champion

Ross ‘green’ champion

To the editor: As evidence of climate-related change continues to mount — in the form of increasing floods, dropping water tables, relentless fires and even immigration — it is disturbing that the very concept of a changing climate, along with possible ways to address it, are partisan and divisive issues. We all need to be working together to create solutions that prevent or mitigate these disasters, including making informed choices in November’s elections. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Decisions… consequences

Decisions… consequences

To the editor: Hey, as we go along in our lives, we make decisions and live with the consequences. Some decisions that people make, is to support the valueless life style of abortion. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Wessell contributes to life

Wessell contributes to life

To the editor: I can’t think of anyone who has contributed more to improve the quality of life in Leelanau Township than Ty Wessell. He has been our school superintendent and our commissioner to the Leelanau County Board. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM
