Conflict of interest

Conflict of interest

To the editor: Unfortunately, the pertinent wording in the Leelanau County conflict of interest policy was not included in coverage of a citizen’s request to investigate whether the chair of the Energy Futures Task Force had violated that policy. The wording in the first line of the request reads, “A clear example of a conflict of interest occurs when a public servant openly advocates for the approval and funding of a program which would result in a benefit to the public servant.” The chair — Joe DeFors— helped write a grant that would directly pay him and lobbied for its passage. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

No dock

To the editor: Leland Township Supervisor Susan Och’s typical lack of urgency and failure to communicate with fellow Board members resulted in DNR’s stunning removal of a dock on the Leland River. Her failure will result in a needless increase in difficulty for those putting in and taking out their boats on River Street, as well as a decrease in vital boat parking in Leland for Leland businesses. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Solar-When and Where

Solar-When and Where

To the editor: It is imperative that we prioritize reliable energy sources when transitioning a service as important as the nation’s electrical grid. Research demonstrates the high environmental and economic costs of rushing the grid transition from affordable-reliable sources to expensive weather-dependent renewable alternatives. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Forum confusing

Forum confusing

To the editor: John Popa’s interview (forum) in the June 5th edition was a convoluted and confusing obfuscation of the fundamental question: “Will the county experience a reduction in its electric bill if a solar array is installed at the government center?” The fact that Michigan rates lower on the scale for optimum solar placement than a sun drenched state like Texas is irrelevant. There are thousands of solar installations in our state. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM
