Bygone era missed in politics

Over the years lots of bad things have unfolded in the political arena and the ability to sample the public’s opinion is high on the list. Back in the day before polling weaseled its way into the system, elected officials were pretty much flying blind when it came to making tough decisions. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Inflection Point

Inflection Point

To the editor: “Inflection point” notes that significant events or conditions will determine future directions and define future reality. Our country is now considering the election, for president, of a person who is demanding that his accolytes refuse to approve a border solution that they have united across the aisle to achieve, so he can use border conditions as a campaign issue. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Diminished faculties

Diminished faculties

To the editor: In response to the letter extolling President Biden’s age as an asset, we might be more open to the idea if he could find his way off a stage by himself or complete a sentence without a teleprompter. This week Biden’s own DOJ through its Special Counsel determined that despite a slam dunk legal case (willfully mishandling classified documents), he couldn’t be convicted by a jury, because Joe Biden is an “elderly man with a poor memory and diminished faculties.” Global threats have grown exponentially since Biden’s inauguration. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Reason for optimism

Reason for optimism

To the editor: While economies in Europe, China, and Japan are slowing, the U.S. economy grew 3.3% in the fourth quarter last year. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Social worker tax

Social worker tax

To the editor: In response to the letter from Judge Kromkowski, there is no doubt that she cares about children, but the Parenting Communities program itself does little if anything to help working families in Leelanau County. The early child millage would be better named “the social worker tax,” because it does not provide one cent for childcare in the traditional sense. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Grateful for efforts

Grateful for efforts

To the editor: I wish to thank Leelanau County Board of Commissioners, Wessell, Ross, Allgaier, and Kramer, for their service on the Board. Thank you is not adequate to express my gratitude for the dedicated, challenging, and often continuous work you do for ALL citizens of the Leelanau County. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Board challenged

Board challenged

To the editor: Good News! For most of 2023, I think that our Board of Commissioners had acted in a bipartisan, pragmatic way. They had put aside politics and worked well together to get their work done under sometimes difficult conditions. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
