Ugliness forever

Ugliness forever

To the editor: Dear friends and neighbors: Good news! We may never have to endure another presidential campaign. The bad news is, that would be because Trump made himself president for life! Do we want to listen to Trump and Vance’s anger and ugliness forever? Do we want a president who is woefully misinformed? (You don’t think he’s lying, do you?!) Do we want the free press abolished? Do we want a president who, when he’s dealing with foreign leaders, is so weak and ineffectual that, according to him, he is picked on and bullied? Doesn’t sound very pleasant. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Price gouging?

To the editor: Kamala Harris states that food providers are “price gouging” and she will punish them with some new (bad) laws to control pricing. In fact, grocers earn an after-tax profit of less than 2 cents on every dollar earned, a pretty thin profit margin. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Sanctimonious sign

Sanctimonious sign

To the editor: The mound of signs entering Lake Leelanau is unsightly and unwelcoming. This must be private property and doubt half the people nor businesses appreciate the view. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Strong feelings

Strong feelings

To the editor: I would like to voice my feelings about Segment 9 of the Sleeping Bear Dunes Heritage Trail. I have had the privilege of living in Leelanau County for over 20 years and my husband and I have enjoyed the trails and initially we were looking forward to the expansion but this particular segment at this particular time in environmental history is wrong. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

McMillan support

McMillan support

To the editor: The election for Leelanau Township supervisor includes incumbent candidate Mike McMillan. Mike was appointed as the third person to hold the office during the present term. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Project 2025 … weird

Project 2025 … weird

To the editor: The 920-page Project 2025 document, with introduction by J.D. Vance, is a dangerous, far right, anti-democratic playbook. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Transgenderism

To the editor: Transgenderism is a political ideology to destabilize society, tear apart families, exploit and confuse vulnerable children, and put men in women’s restrooms. There’s a reason you can’t vote or drink until legal age. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Thanks for listening

Thanks for listening

To the editor: At the recent Cleveland Township board meeting there was discussion about Segment 9 of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail -— the proposed route through wetlands, rare dune/ swale areas, and forested dunes where 7,300 trees will be cut and retaining walls built to hold back dunes, in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Thanks to Supervisor Tim Stein and township trustees for listening to constituents and agreeing to reconsider your support of the Segment 9 proposed route. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Corrections:

A large bird included in a photo ran in Section 2 last week was misidentified. The bird is not a sandhill crane. It is a Great Blue Heron. *** Jack Anderson won grand champion for open class goat showmanship at the Northwestern Michigan Fair. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Plastic bag

To the editor: To the person who left a yellow plastic bag of feces in my front yard, next to my Trump sign, our security camera has pictures. Is this an attempt for a discussion on candidates policies. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Coverage appreciated

Coverage appreciated

To the editor: I was happy to see the featured coverage of the TART trail extension through Cleveland Township. I am hopeful that continued thought is put into redirecting the project in order to protect the natural landscape for residents and visitors. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Leash your dog!

Leash your dog!

To the editor: I love dogs, but I am terrified of off leash dogs. I have an older “rescue” dog that is highly reactive to other dogs, and we love going on hikes on public trails. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM
