Thumbs up, down

Thumbs up, down

Periodically, the Enterprise offers a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” to activities taking place on the peninsula. Here’s the latest. A familiar face popped up in the Leelanau County government center recently – Chet Janik, the county administrator from mid-2012 to 2023. Janik is working with the county commissioners again as they search for a new administrator/ chief financial officer who, it is hoped, will complete the transition of county finances to its own independent department. Janik’s calm leadership, professionalism, and (perhaps most importantly) connections could be just what the county needs as it seeks to stop the revolving door of finance department heads that has been spinning since it was activated in January 2022. Although the tension at the county government center seems to have died down somewhat since the results of an organizational culture survey came in Jan. 3, it doesn’t seem like some employees and officials are ready to bury the hatchet yet. The survey exposed some long standing rivalries to the public. Lately the most contested issue has been who will be named finance director under the new administrator. Janik said he feels that the new administrator ought to choose who will be their finance director, but Commissioner Melinda Lautner has been championing Interim Finance Director Cathy Hartesvelt for the role and has argued that she be appointed full-time director immediately. 03/20/2024 05:09 PM

Debate needed for free society

I hope everyone knows its not only okay to debate on all topics, but it is a necessity for a free society. This comes into question for me more-andmore everyday because it seems that you can’t criticize a public or private person or entities actions without some aggressive personalized attack or attempt of silencing with no substance regarding an argument itself. 03/20/2024 05:09 PM
