Patrol the border

EDITOR: It doesn’t seem like a lot of people in this area or in the U.P., in general, care about what is happening to this country. 302,000 illegals crossed the southern border just last month! Take Green Bay and triple that. Every month. The Biden people say it’s the Republican’s fault. An Executive Order could stop it from happening. Laws are already there. We don’t need any new laws. Just allow the Boder Patrol to do it’s job — patrol the border. When I go in to Canada, I have to have ID, and an enhanced driver’s license or passport to get back into the U.S. If you are ...

Home permit predictions

EDITOR: The article that I am responding to you about is the flat market predicted for new single family home permits. This article has many good points and lots of information about how the housing market has decreased over the past couple of years. By this coming year they are expecting the housing market to decrease by 2.5% which is 13,964 permits issued. The Home Builders Association of Michigan (HBAM) stated that with higher interest rates and the delay of utility hookups are becoming an increasing problem. In my opinion I agree with the writer that there is a problem with ...

MASH

EDITOR: Found a rerun of M.A.S.H. and instantly heard “Colonel Potter… you need to sign this.” He asks… “What is it Radar?”… “Nothing sir, just sign here, here and initial here. Thank you sir.” A common scene in that show. I replaced Colonel Potter with President Biden and came up with the following. “Mr. President, sign this”… “Of course Secretary Granholm.” And we will be deprived of our modern conveniences in the name of some “Green” crap. “Mr. Biden, you need to sign this.”… “Certainly Secretary Mayorkas.” And our border gates are swung ...

Incomplete information

EDITOR: Over the past three years nationally, and locally we have been subjected to countless examples of incomplete information, purposely attenuated to cause us to complete the thought. This is evidenced by such statements as “Trump is an existential threat to our country”, but you aren’t told why and left to wonder just what “existential” means. “CO2 will cause the end of life on earth in a few years” and locally a letter from Sheree Annear (1/5/23) stating (regarding campaign donations to Dave Moyle) “Was he promised this money if he voted a certain way?” and ...

Backing county board

EDITOR: I had to roll my eyes at the most recent liberal attack on our county commissioners in Sheree Annears Letter to the Editor in the Jan 5 paper. Sheree and her cronies are certainly following the principle “If people see it and hear it enough, they will eventually believe it to be true”. It all started when our conservative county commissioners, specifically Dave Moyle, Bob Petersen, and Bob Barron swept the elections last November. Right after losing to Dave Moyle, Kelli Van Ginhoven wrote letters to the editor multiple times a week, complaining about how the board was being ...

County board

EDITOR: Commissioner Moyle is a man of many words. Many words that lack truth, transparency, and follow-through. After hiring Ms. Young as administrator, he said, “I wanna hire Jean Healy to be our junior administrator.” Not once has this been discussed. What would be in the job description? When would this take place? What happened to this position? Commissioner Moyle also recently stated, “I’m no more unethical now than I was 10 years ago.” Did you know Commissioner Moyle sat as a voting member of the Delta County Planning Commission when Heritage Sustainable Energy was ...
