To the editor:
Reflecting on some of the recent letters expressing opinions on our sheriffs’ recent meeting with President Trump, it is my sincere hope that despite any political differences, as a community we can all express our appreciation for the dedication to public safety and well being that our sheriff and his staff have demonstrated.
In a time when cynicism and divisiveness pervade our politics and press, it is my hope that we can put any differences aside and recognize the public service Sheriff Borkovich and his staff provide us on a daily basis. In an age when the concept of a public servant sometimes feels like a quaint idea from a bygone time, Sheriff Borkovich has devoted a lifetime of service to the betterment of our community. We can all agree that we are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful community and share an appreciation for the commitment he and his staff make on a daily basis to assure that Leelanau County is safe for all of us.
When you encounter the sheriff and his fellow officers while going about your daily activities, please take the time to thank them for their dedication to our community and its betterment. The service they provide is priceless and they deserve our prayers and our thanks every day. Please demonstrate your appreciation whenever you have the opportunity to do so.
J.M. (Jay) Dankovich Leland
