Immigration policy

Immigration policy

To the editor: A letter to the editor in the April fourth edition of the Enterprise repeats a pernicious falsehood about US immigration policy. The letter writer claimed that “Border Patrol recently admitted it has flown 320,000 illegal aliens from foreign airports into our country,” and accused Biden of dishonesty for allegedly concealing this supposedly secret information. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

‘Close the loop’

‘Close the loop’

To the editor: Each morning on Leelanau Peninsula I rejoice having the opportunity to steward God’s Creation and reflect on Genesis 2:15 “The Lord God took the man and settled him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to take care of it.” In February, the Center for Climate Integrity published “Fraud of Plastic Recycling,” an informative, comprehensive, credible and useful report on a topic that needs to be clarified, and states: “Big Oil and the plastics industry — which includes petrochemical companies, their trade associations, and the front groups that represent their interests—should be held accountable for their campaign of deception much like the producers of tobacco, opioids, and toxic chemicals that engaged in similar schemes. This report lays the foundation for such a claim.” Our food system uses plastic packaging extensively and the report outlines the issue, yet it’s for us to take necessary actions engaging with our grocers (Meijer, Tom’s Food, Hansen Foods, etc.) to advocate for closing the loop on plastic packaging in our food system and accept washed plastic food bags and containers. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

Proposal A a ‘failure’

Proposal A a ‘failure’

To the editor: Yes, our property tax values are rising. I question why so many are quick to blame the current administration for this ...“stubbornly high inflation.” Some could just as easily blame the administration of Governor John Engler and his political party because Proposition ‘A’ was their big idea in the first place. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

Schools bracing for ‘COVID cliff’

If you give two hoots about the quality of education for your children or grand kids, as they say in the biz, this one’s for you. It’s difficult to use the word “silver-lining” in the same sentence with the term “COVID 19” but if there was one, at least on the education front, it would have to be the $3.7 billion avalanche of emergency federal government money that cascaded into every school district in the state. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM
