Take a breath

To the editor: I think we can all agree that when employers ensure a positive work culture for their employees, everyone benefits — both employees and those they serve. So, when a number of culture-related complaints from Leelanau County employees surfaced last year, I was glad to see our Board of Commissioners act — convening a three-commissioner personnel committee, chaired by Commissioner Kama Ross, to examine the county’s work environment. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Non-violence and common sense

Non-violence and common sense

To the editor: It has been three years since the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol of the United States. As a fiscal conservative Republican, I believe people who planned and participated in this assault should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Disappointing

To the editor: The headline article “Patriot group gets on agenda” (02/02/24) was misleading and disappointing. In my opinion it was written with a clear bias couched in “argumentum ad hominem.” This term usually is used to refer to a rhetorical strategy in which the writer unfavorably portrays a character, motive, or other attribute of the individual(s) making the argument, rather than addressing the argument itself. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Do your job with ‘grace’

Do your job with ‘grace’

To the editor: Letters to the editor attacking personnel committee chair, commissioner Ross are meant to divert attention from the “toxic” label put on commissioner Lautner. The board of commissioners does not need “leadership training.” They desparately need a governing workshop. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

6 bankruptcies

To the editor: Facebook is always asking... What’s on my mind?...Well the state of our country and my puzzlement at who the GOP wants to be their choice for presidential candidacy... 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Hardly a landslide

Hardly a landslide

To the editor: The primary season is likely to get busier before it gets better, but I would like to point out that during the Iowa caucus only 15% of the state’s registered Republicans turned out, and of them only 51% caucused for Trump* (CBS, 1/16/24). Hardly a landslide. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

To the editor: A writer suggests “Biden is a man who wakes up every day trying to do the right thing for the American people.” The only accurate part of this is “wakes up.” Since Biden took office, fuel prices skyrocketed, food costs soared, and American families are struggling to survive. Student debt relief? That consists of hardworking taxpayers financing debt taken on by others. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

There is an intense political badminton match in full bloom between the Joe Biden side and those playing with Donald Trump and the birdie in the middle? The 980,000 current and retired UAW workers whose vote is up for grabs. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM
