Michigan remains cloudy during Sunshine Week, March 10-16, 2024
For the past ten years, The Michigan Press Association has given the Rep. Peter Petallia Memorial Sunshine Award to public servants that strive to promote and protect transparency in government. The award is named after former State Representative Peter Pettallia of Presque Isle who embodied all good things in governing especially support of the citizens in his community and an understanding of the importance of keeping them informed through a transparent government. 03/06/2024 05:30 PM

“Journalist” isn’t a dirty word
I get the impression that the moment I identify myself as a journalist or reporter to a person, their moods shift from friendly to guarded or openly hostile, like I’m a potential threat or enemy in an open war. Like it or not, it seems like Trump was speaking for many Americans when he said he considered the press the enemy of the people. 03/06/2024 05:30 PM
Yes to solar power
Yes to solar power
To the editor: I applaud the Leelanau County Commissioners who voted recently to apply for a grant to build a solar array at the government center campus. Like many people in this area, my husband and I initially questioned whether solar panels made sense in Northern Michigan. 03/06/2024 05:30 PM

Solar Woes
To the editor: In last week’s Enterprise we learned that one of Commissioner Melinda Lautner’s many objections to accepting the $1.5 million grant on offer to our county for the installation of solar panels is that the panels will be near a jail. “Concern about the proximity of the proposed solar array to the county jail,” arises in Ms Lautner’s mind, as “schools and other community groups may be allowed to visit the site for education.” Excuse me? What am I missing here? Are we worried that the convicts will get out and harm the poor unsuspecting students while the students are on a field trip? Or that they will leer at the students from the windows of their jail cells, causing them irreparable trauma? Or that the students might see the jail and take up a life of crime? Can anyone make sense of any of this? Mark Smith Leland. 03/06/2024 05:30 PM

Are you aware?
Are you aware?
To the editor: Are you aware that the Commissioners voted to apply for a $1.5 million grant to construct solar panels? Due to limited space, they are wrongly planned to install these panels above parked cars and law enforcement vehicles…11ft or more in the air! Really? Our County will have to fork over $1 million to install this fiasco, in addition to weeks of labor and administration. Sure, it is planned to be reimbursed in a few years by the grant…if and when all the documentation of labor, administration, materials, contracts, etc. 03/06/2024 05:30 PM
