Township approves $100k for Woolsey Airport restoration
The Leelanau Township board of trustees unanimously voted to support the Woolsey Memorial Airport Restoration project Tuesday with a maximum of $100,000 to be taken out of existing facility funds. Township Supervisor Mike McMillan said at this week’s regular board meeting that discussion of the airport’s urgent needs and current state goes back more than four years, noting how previous board trustees invested funds for an architecture firm to assess the building to find a way forward. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

To the editor: I was once again offended, but not surprised, at Commissioner Lautner’s response to the results of the County employee culture survey. The survey identified serious deficiencies in the work culture and specifically called out Commissioner Lautner’s contribution to the problems. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Border laws defined
Border laws defined
To the editor: The “border security” legislation being attempted by big business influenced U.S. Senators is anti-American and would do nothing but encourage more border illegality. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
Pause trail extension
Pause trail extension
To the editor: In the pursuit of extending the Heritage Trail, we need to stop and consider the end cost of thisgoal. Climatechange has detrimental effects on all of us, and this extension defies our battle against it. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM

Time to move on
To the editor: I attended the Leelanau Voting Commission’s public meeting to demonstrate how voting machines are tested to ensure that our votes are tabulated accurately and securely. The process is mandated by state law. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
Merger is positive step
Merger is positive step
To the editor: Merging the Administrator and CFO positions, as reported by the Enterprise, is a positive step towards addressing the organizational instability caused by the May 2021 Board vote. While some may question the timing or reasoning behind the merger, it offers a clearer line of responsibility and accountability for financial planning and administration. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
Board challenged
Board challenged
To the editor: Good News! For most of 2023, I think that our Board of Commissioners had acted in a bipartisan, pragmatic way. They had put aside politics and worked well together to get their work done under sometimes difficult conditions. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
Grateful for efforts
Grateful for efforts
To the editor: I wish to thank Leelanau County Board of Commissioners, Wessell, Ross, Allgaier, and Kramer, for their service on the Board. Thank you is not adequate to express my gratitude for the dedicated, challenging, and often continuous work you do for ALL citizens of the Leelanau County. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
Social worker tax
Social worker tax
To the editor: In response to the letter from Judge Kromkowski, there is no doubt that she cares about children, but the Parenting Communities program itself does little if anything to help working families in Leelanau County. The early child millage would be better named “the social worker tax,” because it does not provide one cent for childcare in the traditional sense. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
Reason for optimism
Reason for optimism
To the editor: While economies in Europe, China, and Japan are slowing, the U.S. economy grew 3.3% in the fourth quarter last year. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
Diminished faculties
Diminished faculties
To the editor: In response to the letter extolling President Biden’s age as an asset, we might be more open to the idea if he could find his way off a stage by himself or complete a sentence without a teleprompter. This week Biden’s own DOJ through its Special Counsel determined that despite a slam dunk legal case (willfully mishandling classified documents), he couldn’t be convicted by a jury, because Joe Biden is an “elderly man with a poor memory and diminished faculties.” Global threats have grown exponentially since Biden’s inauguration. 02/14/2024 04:44 PM
