Grateful for efforts

Grateful for efforts

To the editor: I wish to thank Leelanau County Board of Commissioners, Wessell, Ross, Allgaier, and Kramer, for their service on the Board. Thank you is not adequate to express my gratitude for the dedicated, challenging, and often continuous work you do for ALL citizens of the Leelanau County. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Board challenged

Board challenged

To the editor: Good News! For most of 2023, I think that our Board of Commissioners had acted in a bipartisan, pragmatic way. They had put aside politics and worked well together to get their work done under sometimes difficult conditions. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Merger is positive step

Merger is positive step

To the editor: Merging the Administrator and CFO positions, as reported by the Enterprise, is a positive step towards addressing the organizational instability caused by the May 2021 Board vote. While some may question the timing or reasoning behind the merger, it offers a clearer line of responsibility and accountability for financial planning and administration. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Time to move on

Time to move on

To the editor: I attended the Leelanau Voting Commission’s public meeting to demonstrate how voting machines are tested to ensure that our votes are tabulated accurately and securely. The process is mandated by state law. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Pause trail extension

Pause trail extension

To the editor: In the pursuit of extending the Heritage Trail, we need to stop and consider the end cost of thisgoal. Climatechange has detrimental effects on all of us, and this extension defies our battle against it. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Border laws defined

Border laws defined

To the editor: The “border security” legislation being attempted by big business influenced U.S. Senators is anti-American and would do nothing but encourage more border illegality. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Contact your Congressman

Contact your Congressman

To the editor: Congressman Bergman takes pride in 40 years of military service and having retired from the Marine Corp as a lieutenant general. Congressman Bergman is a member of the House Armed Services Committee. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Lane change

To the editor: I was once again offended, but not surprised, at Commissioner Lautner’s response to the results of the County employee culture survey. The survey identified serious deficiencies in the work culture and specifically called out Commissioner Lautner’s contribution to the problems. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

SOS website has answers

SOS website has answers

To the editor: K.L. Kawecki expressed concern that 116% of eligible voters are registered to vote in Leelanau County and suggested that the group promoting this figure should be taken more seriously. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Tree removal ‘reprehensible’

Tree removal ‘reprehensible’

To the editor: In a letter published in last week’s Enterprise, an author wrote in favor of the current proposed routing of Segment 9 of the SBHT. His arguments are reprehensible, short-sighted, and out-of-date. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Invest in ‘affordable’ housing

Invest in ‘affordable’ housing

To the editor: Do we want the most beautiful natural sites and farmland in Leelanau County to be scooped up by international and out-ofstate buyers, who see our natural resources as their cash cow? We want people living here year-round, investing in the county, its residents and businesses. Putting down roots. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Transparency needed

Transparency needed

To the editor: While we were pleased the Enterprise called for releasing the raw data from the recent Cultural Survey, we are disappointed that our paper of record doesn’t seem interested in investigating why commission Kama Ross exchanged 1,250 emails with county employees about the survey. What could such a volume of communication be for? Thank you — Melinda Lautner — for your courage in demanding answers through a Freedom of Information Act request. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM
