"I believe that the funds were illegally removed from the road fund" What is the basis and what proof do you have that you believe the funds were illegally removed. Please don't take this wrong Kirk, when you have concerns you call people out and I, like you, want to make sure you are bein...

It seems there are those that don't like to be held accountable for their actions here also. Funny thing when accountability is found staring you in the mirror you don't like what you see. Go back to whatever you're doing and enjoy the place you're at in life.

If someone has "heard" there's a water problem at the airport and is truly interested in "due diligence" why would they seek information from a township website that everyone knows is outdated? It seems a prudent investigator doing their due diligence would call the airport and a...

A quick search on the local real estate websites reveal 15-20 lots near town for $8-25,000. Certainly there has to be a builder on the island that could build a spec house for $100-125,000. So with a vacate parcel and careful building plans it seems like a place could be had for $125-150,000. This w...

There must be two message when you attempt to register and it fails. I got the message that there were too many failed password attempts and the software put the registration form into protection mode and would reset within 15 minutes. The screen I was sent to didn't say anything about my email or c...

Holding an elected official to the fire over a financial disaster is one thing. Whining over and over again because they won't pony up an answer during public comment is quiet another. I think you would be hard pressed to find any organization, public or private, that will provide an immediate answe...

Beaver Island didn't get where it's at because a question wasn't answered to your satisfaction during public comment. That's why it's called Public Comment on the agenda. Your constant whining about things like this detract from your message and dilute your effectiveness.

Whether it's a person, group or community there is a clear path to extinction. When help begins to hurt.

I knew I wouldn't take long, by the 6th post on this thread it happen. There is a mentality that island people deserve a free pass and special consideration because they are island people. This same mentality has been taken into the voting booth for a long time on Beaver Island. Now there are seriou...

LOVING FAMILY <--- I take that to be Kaylyn Jones and some of the residents of BI, that came with their ancestors from Ireland. TROUBLEMAKING STRANGERS, <----I take that to be seasonal and the tourist who rent a cottage for a week or two during the summer. I would suggest if it wasn't for the weekly...

...and once again Kirk and I find ourselves on opposite sides of a topic. Yet, I respect Kirk for his opinion because his point is made with respect. I'm not disputing the content of Marissa's original post, just the nastiness of her replies to those that oppose her. So maybe Kirk and I are in agree...

It's never fun to watch someone crash and burn, but most of us knew this was going to happen. Somehow the purpose of a post gets lost in the disrespectful responses to others that oppose a view. Try not to burn too many bridges along the way. Someday you may want to return to live on BI and you migh...

Maybe there aren't more comments because most people get it and only a few don't. If the logic being applied to your argument is valid then it could be said that island kids should stay on the island and not come to the mainland and take a job from someone there. Oh, I know that wouldn't be fair to ...

I can't believe this and most of you who have witnessed our past will find this hard to believe, but I think Kirk and I agree on something. If this project happens it will be a great thing. If it doesn't happen then lets not kick the can to the side because it didn't happen. Let's lean into it and g...
