Tree removal ‘reprehensible’

Tree removal ‘reprehensible’

To the editor: In a letter published in last week’s Enterprise, an author wrote in favor of the current proposed routing of Segment 9 of the SBHT. His arguments are reprehensible, short-sighted, and out-of-date. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Invest in ‘affordable’ housing

Invest in ‘affordable’ housing

To the editor: Do we want the most beautiful natural sites and farmland in Leelanau County to be scooped up by international and out-ofstate buyers, who see our natural resources as their cash cow? We want people living here year-round, investing in the county, its residents and businesses. Putting down roots. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Transparency needed

Transparency needed

To the editor: While we were pleased the Enterprise called for releasing the raw data from the recent Cultural Survey, we are disappointed that our paper of record doesn’t seem interested in investigating why commission Kama Ross exchanged 1,250 emails with county employees about the survey. What could such a volume of communication be for? Thank you — Melinda Lautner — for your courage in demanding answers through a Freedom of Information Act request. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Union votes up for grabs

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

Living in the real world

Living in the real world

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

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

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
