Support early childhood request

To the editor: Why renew the Early Childhood millage on 8/6? Lilian Katz, professor emerita, Early Childhood Education, University of Illinois, says it best: “We must recognize that the welfare of our children and grandchildren is intimately linked to the welfare of other people’s children. When one of our children needs lifesaving surgery, someone else’s child will perform it. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Not compatible

To the editor: The look of the “Newbird” (Bluebird) building is a shock. It is totally at odds with the character of the community and the quality of life in Leland. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support for Ugalde

To the editor: Dear Leelanau Township voters: The position of Leelanau Township Treasurer is a position that requires competence. Jolisa Ugalde has been in the position of Deputy Treasurer and has been trained to do the job that she will assume as Treasurer. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Dirty v. clean

To the editor: Some of our county commissioners are enamored with green energy projects, but are apparently unaware of the costs, environmental impacts, and reliability issues. Mother Earth News reports in their article “Dirty Drawbacks of Clean Energy” from June/July 2024, lithium mining is intensely damaging to the environment. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Benson eyeing governor’s seat?

Usually in this town, there is one major state capitol news development each week that warrants a deeper dive via an extended column in this news hole. Not this week. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Lake Michigan commands respect

Lake Michigan commands respect

The Great Lakes really are inland seas and should be recognized as such by everyone. But more specifically those who enjoy recreating in the water. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Civil trial teaches reporter

A civil trial in Leelanau that occurred nearly two decades ago taught me much about our legal system. As the judicial branch of government has come under attack from both sides of the aisle, I’ve been reflecting back at what occurred here. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

Check facts

To the editor: I just read the front-page article “District 1 Commissioner, Kramer Resigns.” I am chagrin that the Enterprise, a usually thorough and accurate publication, messed this one up. You stated that Kramer accused the County Commission, County staff and the Commission Chairperson of all kinds of dastardly offenses. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM

An informed, involved electorate

An informed, involved electorate

To the editor: Celebrating the 4th of July, I am reminded of a Benjamin Franklin quotation that has always stuck with me. When leaving the Constitutional Convention, he was asked what kind of government had been created. 07/10/2024 03:48 PM
