Kramer ‘ill-suited’

Kramer ‘ill-suited’

To the editor: The audacity of Commissioner Jamie Kramer projecting her very own failures as a public servant onto Commissioner Ty Wessell, a true servant-leader, only highlights how ill-suited she was for her position as a Leelanau Commissioner. And, with regard to Commissioner Melinda Lautner, it’s entirely laughable that she would support Kramer’s questionable narrative of her experience on the Commission. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Thank you

To the editor: The Glen Lake Woman’s Club’s Art Fair was a success, thanks to generous community support. Bay Area Transportation Authority drivers shuttled vendors to and from remote parking areas. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Tax cuts: look both ways

Tax cuts: look both ways

To the editor: We tell children to look both ways when crossing the street. Adults should look both ways when it comes to tax cuts. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

The Empty Bus

To the editor: Living along M-22 between Northport and Suttons Bay affords me the opportunity to watch the Route 10 BATA bus pass by up to 12 times daily. I regret to report this large bus is nearly always empty, rarely, if ever, with even a single passenger on board. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Much thanks

To the editor: Celebrate…Summer in Style, Leelanau Christian Neighbors yearly fundraiser, was so much fun and a great success because of our supportive community.

Farmer says ‘thanks’

Farmer says ‘thanks’

To the editor: Thank you to the Enterprise, who in both last weeks’ “View” and Amy Hubbell’s Editorial, expressed their support and concern for the cherry growers in this county. Thank you, also, to the folks who buy local cherries rather than cherries from elsewhere and other countries. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Dirty v. clean

To the editor: Some of our county commissioners are enamored with green energy projects, but are apparently unaware of the costs, environmental impacts, and reliability issues. Mother Earth News reports in their article “Dirty Drawbacks of Clean Energy” from June/July 2024, lithium mining is intensely damaging to the environment. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support for Ugalde

Support for Ugalde

To the editor: Dear Leelanau Township voters: The position of Leelanau Township Treasurer is a position that requires competence. Jolisa Ugalde has been in the position of Deputy Treasurer and has been trained to do the job that she will assume as Treasurer. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support children

Support children

To the editor: VOTE YES on the Early Childhood Millage on the August ballot. This groundbreaking initiative is parent-led and informed by the science of learning. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Not compatible

To the editor: The look of the “Newbird” (Bluebird) building is a shock. It is totally at odds with the character of the community and the quality of life in Leland. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support early childhood request

Support early childhood request

To the editor: Why renew the Early Childhood millage on 8/6? Lilian Katz, professor emerita, Early Childhood Education, University of Illinois, says it best: “We must recognize that the welfare of our children and grandchildren is intimately linked to the welfare of other people’s children. When one of our children needs lifesaving surgery, someone else’s child will perform it. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM
