Republicans responsible

Republicans responsible

To the editor: It was the Republicans who instigated the County Reorganization that has cost us $800,000+. Led by Chairman Bunek, without notice or discussion, the County Commission in 2021 stripped duties performed successfully for 20 years by our County Clerk. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Choose wisely

To the editor: When I look at candidates for local office, I look at two criteria that are more important to me than whether they are a Democrat or a Republican: Do they have a history of local involvement as a volunteer trying to help the community? Do they have a work history or educational background that prepares them for community service? Look at the resumes of the candidates — have they done meaningful work to help the community already? Do they have a work history that shows their commitment to public welfare? Choose wisely. Rick Gans Northport. 10/16/2024 08:25 PM

Ross committed

To the editor: As a former County Commissioner, there was no question in my mind that Kama Ross would make an exceptional County Commissioner when I encouraged her to run for District 5—and she has exceeded my expectations. What I didn’t know was how incredibly responsive she would be helping so many individuals find solutions to their problems. 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

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.
