Bingham continues blight ordinance discussion
The Bingham Township Board meeting on Monday was unusually well attended as about 10 township residents were in the audience.

To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich calls people who disagree with him and express those opinions via our First Amendment rights, haters? Is that right? Many residents were upset that he appeared with Trump, in uniform, tacitly endorsing his violent rhetoric aimed at immigrants, representing Leelanau County. A real leader, would give a more thoughtful response to this criticism. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

Strattons Way issue addressed
Back in February, a Suttons Bay resident attended the monthly village council meeting with his two very young daughters and several of his neighbors, petitioning to change Strattons Way into a one-way street. These concerned citizens argued that fast, two-way traffic coming along this narrow road between M-204 and Concord Street could pose a danger to these children living here. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM
