Support for Sheriff
Support for Sheriff
To the editor: The Michigan Police Association was invited by a presidential candidate to discuss crime. The Biden Administration has not done that. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM
‘Price to Pay’
‘Price to Pay’
To the editor: Inflation is not higher prices, inflation causes higher prices. Inflation is the result of expanding the money supply faster than expanding goods and services. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
‘Disappointing’
‘Disappointing’
To the editor: How disappointing to see our sheriff, who has done such a great job patrolling Leelanau County, on a political stage with a man who sent his supporters to the U.S .Capitol to pound on and beat up U.S. Capitol POLICE OFFICERS. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
Travel not at U.S. expense
Travel not at U.S. expense
To the editor: Ms. Jones, in her Thursday 4 April letter to the editor, is incorrect in describing the immigrants flown into our country as illegal aliens as they have a sponsor in the U.S., have passed biometric and biographical vetting and have work permits. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
‘Disdains the rule of law
‘Disdains the rule of law
To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich stood onstage beside a twiceimpeached ex-president (not convicted), who’s accused of sexual abuse and financial fraud, who attacks judges and prosecutors, who allowed police to be bloodied by his insurrectionists, who disdains the rule of law. To this lawless figure, Leelanau’s top lawman lends his tacit endorsement. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
‘Bludgeoned with flagpoles’
‘Bludgeoned with flagpoles’
To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich, as a selfproclaimed “ constitutional sheriff” you chose to be photographed with a presidential candidate who has stated he would “terminate” parts of the constitution. What parts of the constitution are you OK with terminating? Should the 12th amendment go? The one Congress was trying to fulfill when Trump incited a riot at the Capitol to stop the Electoral college count? What about the 140 injuries sustained by your brothers in blue while defending the Capitol — bludgeoned with flagpoles, assaulted with bear spray, repeatedly shocked with electric cattle prods, gas masks ripped off. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
‘Protecting borders not political’
‘Protecting borders not political’
To the editor: Protecting our borders is an American issue, not political. I’m grateful for Sheriff Borkovich’s attendance at the Grand Rapids rally. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
American values ending
American values ending
To the editor: Traditional American values are ending, thanks to Joe Biden. His administration is responsible for opening borders with subsequent drug-related deaths; turning schools into indoctrination centers for woke ideology; opposing gasoline and natural gas as fuels; pacifying enemies Iran and China; calling violent crime understandable as a sign of social justice; reworking the justice system to punish political opponents; supporting a biased media; wiping out meritocracy as a standard for excellence; weakening American families with transgenderism and blurring classic roles of fathers and mothers; increasing the national debt to 35 trillion; encouraging inflation; and attacking the 2nd Amendment. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
‘Dumbfounded’
‘Dumbfounded’
To the editor: I was dumbfounded to see Leelanau County Sheriff Mike Borkovich standing—in full uniform— behind Trump in Grand Rapids last week, in multiple photos and videos. I wondered: Was the Sheriff on the clock and driving a county-owned vehicle to stand behind a man who did not support the Capitol Police on January 6, 2021? I was astonished to read “Sheriff Takes Stage with Trump” in the Enterprise, including his rationale—immigration law. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
Thanks to Biden
Thanks to Biden
To the editor: In 1945, as World War II ended, the economy shifted from war time to peace time while returning GIs looked for jobs. Inflation skyrocketed. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
Woke person attributes
Woke person attributes
To the editor: Attributes of a woke person You read books and don’t burn them. You embrace science. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
‘Vile rhetoric’
‘Vile rhetoric’
To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich saw fit to stand with ex-president Trump while he launched into his usual migrant hate speech. Leelanau’s 4% Hispanic population must be appalled to see their sheriff stand by while they are denigrated by Trump. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
