Rowing event in the offifing

Rowing event in the offifing

To the editor: For those who saw George Clooney’s “Boys in the Boat” at the Bay Theater, remember the 54 Olympic athletes powering 60ft. boats - Ln1: Germany; Ln2: Italy; Ln3: Switzerland; Ln4: Hungary; Ln5: Great Britain; Ln6: USA; then the epic photofi nish that secured GOLD for USA? Imagine the same boat race, but you’re cheering on your own kids, grandkids, friends, neighbors. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Time for clean energy/property rights

To the editor: 2023 was the warmest in the last 150 years. Climate change now threatens our economy, 1 trillion $/year. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Know the workforce

Know the workforce

To the editor: Leadership training is not going to fix the toxic work environment in Leelanau County Government by itself. Leadership training can provide useful tools in developing a leader, but a lot more ingredients go into the formula to produce effective leaders. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Spending out of hand

Spending out of hand

To the editor: A letter in the Jan. 18 issue is wrong in asserting that tax cuts have caused the dramatic and unsustainable increase in the national debt. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Disappointed

To the editor: A survey seems to come out as fast as the internet can send them, and they have something in common. They are based on tabulated responses so that the survey taker’s role is mathematical rather than opinionated. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Study ‘amateurish’

Study ‘amateurish’

To the editor: I read the partial results of the Organizational Cultural Survey. The survey was amateurish and unprofessional. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Over-reaction

To the editor: Citizens of Leelanau County should feel that their county commissioners truly listen to what they say. That was not so with commissioner Kama Ross at a Leelanau County Board of Commissioners meeting on Dec. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Listen and learn before voting

Listen and learn before voting

To the editor: One man: down with Democracy and the Constitution; Fake News; Witch Hunt; Removal of rights for many. None of these issues were in the forefront until Donald Trump unleashed his vitriol. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

Roll back 2017 tax cuts

Roll back 2017 tax cuts

To the editor: I am no expert on tax policy, but I can read. Massive, permanent tax cuts in the last 25 years have caused a dramatic increase in the national debt by reducing the amount of money the government collects to conduct its business. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

Lived experiences matter

Lived experiences matter

To the editor: Recent letters to the editor offered “evidence” to convince us that the Biden economy is strong. Now if only the American people could be convinced! What really matters is our lived experience. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

We should be proud

We should be proud

To the editor: I was on a work call recently where regional child wellness agencies described services provided families and parents who face challenging behaviors with and/or who have questions about their young child’s development. All agree that the earlier a child’s developmental delays are identified, the more effective the interventions can be and the greater likelihood of having a healthy child, ready to handle kindergarten, and other emotional and social issues. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

How distant is Bergman?

How distant is Bergman?

To the editor: On Nov. 19, 2023 US representative Jack Bergman had an article published in the Detroit News. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM
