Wait a while

To the editor: An adage goes, “there is nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come.” Well, the idea of full green energy has not yet come and won’t for quite a while. But hey, I’m all for it and when you can offer me an affordable non-Chinese-made sedan with a small and SAFE 10-year battery which will go 600 miles at 75 mph and recharges in 30 minutes for $20 I’ll buy one. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM

Rental issue resolved?

Rental issue resolved?

To the editor: As we approach winter in Cherry Home Shores, we reflect on how peaceful the summers have become after the board took action to shut down predatory vacation rentals. We achieved an uneasy peace against commercial interests. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM

EMS response praised

EMS response praised

To the editor: Recently I experienced a medical emergency during a Village Voices rehearsal and 911 was called to the Northport School, Thanks to all the Village Voices members who acted so quickly and especially to Northport’s high quality, rapid response team. The EMTs acted very professionally and courteously. 12/13/2023 05:43 PM

Dysfunctional group

To the editor: I read with GREAT interest the headline article “Board OK’s employee survey” in the November 16 edition of the Leelanau Enterprise. I have been a resident of Suttons Bay for over ten years and am concerned at the number of examples where conduct among the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners has demonstrated acrimony and or contempt. 12/06/2023 05:33 PM

Request discouraging

Request discouraging

To the editor: One of the encouraging signs in local politics is the progress made by the bipartisan Leelanau County Commission over the past year and a half. We finally have a septic inspection ordinance (like most counties in Michigan), and a Commission seriously interested in solving our problems: affordable housing, attracting and supporting young families, protecting our fragile environment, and transparency and cooperation in government. 12/06/2023 05:33 PM

A little bit of change…

A little bit of change…

To the editor: Reflecting on the recent letters from neighbors opposing the trail building efforts at Palmer Woods, let’s put a few things in perspective. The desire to create multi-use recreational trails was a central driver of the preservation efforts for the land that has become the Palmer Woods Forest Reserve. 12/06/2023 05:33 PM

Biden success

To the editor: All of those complaining about Biden’s age and his ability to get the job done, need to pay attention to what he is accomplishing. He has shown us that experience counts when leading this nation and dealing with global matters. 12/06/2023 05:33 PM

‘Aggressive’ Conservancy

‘Aggressive’ Conservancy

To the editor: As long time neighbors of the Leelanau Conservancy’s expanding Palmer Woods mountain bike recreation area, we have felt the impacts of increasing high-speed traffic through our rural neighborhood. We wonder why an organization that says its goal is to protect Leelanau County by being “unrelenting in preserving her beauty and ecological integrity” has become a developer of the Conservancy’s first high-impact recreation area. 12/06/2023 05:33 PM

Washington’s words

Washington’s words

To the editor: Not long after Washington was elected as our first president, the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, sent him a letter of congratulations. In that letter, the congregation wrote of their hope that the new nation would tolerate religious minorities, like Jews. 12/06/2023 05:33 PM

Corporate greed

Corporate greed

To the editor: Americans want financial security for themselves and their loved ones. But the pandemic exposed weaknesses in our supply chains, driving up prices that remain high, pinching our family budgets. 12/06/2023 05:33 PM

Biker adrenaline

Biker adrenaline

To the editor: Is the Palmer Woods Expansion Area an appropriate property tor mountain biking? The conservancy rigorously defends mountain biking, but many, local residents disagree. The Cleveland Township Board ignores their concerns regarding a planned . 12/06/2023 05:33 PM

Grateful for Conservancy

Grateful for Conservancy

To the editor: I have been closely following the township meetings and the neighbor’s comments about Palmer Woods Forest Reserve’s new off-road parking area. I am a resident on Wheeler Road where I own three parcels of land. 12/06/2023 05:33 PM
