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 His arguments are reprehensible, short-sighted, and out-of-date. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM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

Living in the real world

Living in the real world

To the editor: A writer suggests “Biden is a man who wakes up every day trying to do the right thing for the American people.” The only accurate part of this is “wakes up.” Since Biden took office, fuel prices skyrocketed, food costs soared, and American families are struggling to survive. Student debt relief? That consists of hardworking taxpayers financing debt taken on by others. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Hardly a landslide

Hardly a landslide

To the editor: The primary season is likely to get busier before it gets better, but I would like to point out that during the Iowa caucus only 15% of the state’s registered Republicans turned out, and of them only 51% caucused for Trump* (CBS, 1/16/24). Hardly a landslide. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

6 bankruptcies

To the editor: Facebook is always asking... What’s on my mind?...Well the state of our country and my puzzlement at who the GOP wants to be their choice for presidential candidacy... 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Do your job with ‘grace’

Do your job with ‘grace’

To the editor: Letters to the editor attacking personnel committee chair, commissioner Ross are meant to divert attention from the “toxic” label put on commissioner Lautner. The board of commissioners does not need “leadership training.” They desparately need a governing workshop. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Disappointing

To the editor: The headline article “Patriot group gets on agenda” (02/02/24) was misleading and disappointing. In my opinion it was written with a clear bias couched in “argumentum ad hominem.” This term usually is used to refer to a rhetorical strategy in which the writer unfavorably portrays a character, motive, or other attribute of the individual(s) making the argument, rather than addressing the argument itself. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM
