Support for Ross

Support for Ross

To the editor: Kama Ross is my BOC commissioner and I am so grateful and honored to have her represent me. Her honesty and dedication is evident at every meeting. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Conflict of interest

Conflict of interest

To the editor: Unfortunately, the pertinent wording in the Leelanau County conflict of interest policy was not included in coverage of a citizen’s request to investigate whether the chair of the Energy Futures Task Force had violated that policy. The wording in the first line of the request reads, “A clear example of a conflict of interest occurs when a public servant openly advocates for the approval and funding of a program which would result in a benefit to the public servant.” The chair — Joe DeFors— helped write a grant that would directly pay him and lobbied for its passage. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

No dock

To the editor: Leland Township Supervisor Susan Och’s typical lack of urgency and failure to communicate with fellow Board members resulted in DNR’s stunning removal of a dock on the Leland River. Her failure will result in a needless increase in difficulty for those putting in and taking out their boats on River Street, as well as a decrease in vital boat parking in Leland for Leland businesses. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Dems get it done

Dems get it done

To the editor: Point Broadband continues working to bring high speed internet to our county. That work is largely funded by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Thank you

To the editor: Thursday June 6th I attended as a observer the Leelanau county Energy Futures Task Force meeting. I appreciated seeing fellow citizens working together to try and take on the task to shrink are carbon foot print. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Solar-When and Where

Solar-When and Where

To the editor: It is imperative that we prioritize reliable energy sources when transitioning a service as important as the nation’s electrical grid. Research demonstrates the high environmental and economic costs of rushing the grid transition from affordable-reliable sources to expensive weather-dependent renewable alternatives. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Forum confusing

Forum confusing

To the editor: John Popa’s interview (forum) in the June 5th edition was a convoluted and confusing obfuscation of the fundamental question: “Will the county experience a reduction in its electric bill if a solar array is installed at the government center?” The fact that Michigan rates lower on the scale for optimum solar placement than a sun drenched state like Texas is irrelevant. There are thousands of solar installations in our state. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Township deserves better

Township deserves better

To the editor: As a Trustee of Leland Township, I am compelled to address the ongoing issues with our current Supervisor, Ms. Och. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Frightening

To the editor: Given today’s unjust lawfare, jailed political opponents, free speech censorship. and blatant lies, we should be much more concerned about Democrats than about Trump. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Service … priceless

Service … priceless

To the editor: Reflecting on some of the recent letters expressing opinions on our sheriffs’ recent meeting with President Trump, it is my sincere hope that despite any political differences, as a community we can all express our appreciation for the dedication to public safety and well being that our sheriff and his staff have demonstrated. In a time when cynicism and divisiveness pervade our politics and press, it is my hope that we can put any differences aside and recognize the public service Sheriff Borkovich and his staff provide us on a daily basis. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM

Special birthday

Special birthday

To the editor: Thank you, everyone for all of the cards you sent me for my 95th birthday. They made my birthday extra special. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM

Truth matters

To the editor: Barbara McQuade in her new book, “Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America” defines disinformation as the “deliberate use of lies to manipulate people, whether to extract profit or to advance a political agenda.” A recent letter to the Enterprise about a County “cultural survey” reinforces the relevance of McQuade’s quote. The “cultural survey” was not “largely the initiative” of Commissioner Ross. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM
