Protect freedoms

Protect freedoms

To the editor: Senate Republicans recently voted against a bill guaranteeing access to contraception, claiming such legislation is unnecessary. However, their recently released “Project 2025” document suggests otherwise. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

A vote for Grant

A vote for Grant

To the editor: For 22 years, Jennifer Grant has expertly managed Leelanau County’s property records, ensuring their integrity and security. Her candidacy for reelection as Register of Deeds reflects not only her experience and qualifications but also her genuine care for our community. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Disappointing

To the editor: What I witnessed at the Senior Expo was disappointing. Last week, our Seniors gathered at Suttons Bay High School, to get help with just about any issue that accompanies aging. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Unsound

To the editor: Our country’s well-being be damned, Democrats and a complicit mainstream media were completely comfortable reelecting a cognitively impaired President Biden when they thought he could win. Their claims that his sad debate performance was “a breakthrough moment” in their understanding of his condition, which “aides have shielded,” or that “preparation overload” or “a cold” were to blame, are selfevident nonsense. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Leland Twp. issues

Leland Twp. issues

To the editor: I’m often asked what I see as the top issues facing Leland Township over the next four years. While there are many — park improvements (including the DNR launch), rebuilding the library seawall, prioritizing road repairs — the list starts with mending the divisions that have widened the last several years, and earning back the community’s confidence in our local government. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Ross recommended

Ross recommended

To the editor: Leelanau County is a wonderful place to live and this is in no small part due to effective leaders working in county government. Kama Ross is my representative on the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners and she is an exemplar of local leadership that works to make our county a wonderful place to live. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Whitmer silent on presidential race

It’s a harmful, often laughfi lled cat and mouse game that Michigan governors have played with the political press in our town over the years but never before has it crescendoed to where we are today. If you combine all the national coverage with what the news hounds around here are writing, speculation about a certain female governor for president is about as omnipresent in the media as the daily weather report. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Enjoy these moments

As the Fourth of July weekend is upon us, let’s take a deep breath and enjoy the moment. As we celebrate the Independence of the United States of America in 1776, and the continued fight for freedom, we shall be holding our family closer than ever on this joyous holiday. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Gala kudos

To the editor: On behalf of the board of directors for the Leelanau County Cancer Foundation, I would like to thank everyone who made our Gala of Grace fundraiser successful. To French Valley Vineyards for providing the venue, North Coast Trio and Sara Hartley for providing entertainment, to all those who donated auction items or food for our buffet, and to all those who attended and so generously bid on items, too numerous to name, we sincerely appreciate you. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Celebrating the 4th

Celebrating the 4th

A signatory of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams wrote in the summer of 1776 to his wife Abigail that he believed Independence Day “will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival … it ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more.” 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Reelect Ross

To the editor: I am thrilled that Kama Ross is running to continue her service as a Leelanau County Commissioner for District 5. Considering all the volunteer activities she has done and continues to do for our community, she is clearly a human dynamo! I do not know how she finds time for it all. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

Kudos to Mawby

To the editor: I read with great interest Larry Mawby’s efforts to establish affordable housing in Suttons Bay. Housing young people can afford is one of the greatest priorities I can name regarding the future of our community. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM
