Light pollution?

Light pollution?

To the editor: The Democrats on the BOC are prepping county taxpayers for another expensive and intrusive government crusade. This time they are defining a new enemy... 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Conley for supervisor

Wessell’s clear vision

Wessell’s clear vision

To the editor: While his opponent for Leelanau County Commissioner engages in unfounded fearmongering about the alleged downsides of solar power, Ty Wessell looks ahead with a clear vision for the environment. He has laid out a sensible, sciencebased approach for the county’s energy needs that embraces all appropriate technologies, nuclear and solar among them, and takes a long-term view of the future that can be our legacy for generations to come. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Elevate cherries and farmers who grow them

The cherry is queen of crops grown in Leelanau County. Why not give it an official title for all of Michigan? A bill was introduced last week by state Sen. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Affordable housing gains have a long way to go

Affordable housing gains have a long way to go

Slow and steady wins the race. But given the lack of affordable housing in the county, the finish line is some distance away. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Trust Ty

To the editor: This summer I slipped into a seat at the Northport Community Band Concert. I wasn’t surprised to see Ty Wessell a row in front of me. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Support for White

Support for White

To the editor: I am endorsing Jim White for County Commissioner for his ability to lead people, manage money and pay attention to detail when it comes to being responsible for other people’s money and resources. He has proven this in pursuit of answers about issues such as the Green Energy grant, Broad Band, and the low moral in our government offices. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

A win for all

To the editor: Kama has been an activist and a fighter for the people. She reaches across the aisle coming to compromises with board members that results in 6-1 or 7-0 votes on critical issues. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Solar energy, common sense

Solar energy, common sense

To the editor: I strongly urge the Leelanau Board of Commissioners to move forward in adopting solar energy at the Leelanau County Government Center - especially if the county has the good fortune of receiving a state grant to cover the cost. My husband and I installed solar panels 5 years ago at our home in Glen Arbor Township and are extremely happy with their performance. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

To the editor: Leelanau Township voters will elect a new board in November. In the past few years, turnover has been high for the position of township supervisor. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM

Costs v. benefit

Costs v. benefit

To the editor: The Leelanau Co Board of Commissioners is about to vote on a solar project at the government center that costs 1 million dollars. Supporters claim the project will save 35 thousand dollars a year, however they fail to include the additional expenses required in the contract to purchase electric vehicles to replace the county’s fleet along with the cost of maintenance and charging stations. 09/25/2024 04:23 PM
