Re: WTH
FACTS: $700-850 Beaver Island $275-350 Washington Island $425-500 difference No embellishing there and I don't know how I can be any more transparent...The cost of the ferry and the lack of transparency to justify the cost is KILLING the once a year weekly tourist/vacationing family trip. Best Wishe...

Re: WTH
So lets look at the operating cost of Washington Island Vs. Beaver Island Ferry. Both have to load and unload. Washington Island 1 hour round trip. Beaver Island is a little over 4 hours round trip. You're telling me that 3 hours of cruising cost $400-500 per family of 5, a car, two mopeds and two d...

Re: WTH
We just talked the other day about going to Beaver Island in 2020. It's been a few years since we've been there and with the addition of a son-in-law we thought it would be a nice family get a way. A quick look at the ferry website and a calculator put the cost of the ferry round trip at: $708 ( sti...

Re: Answering Bill Kohls email
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'm grateful that as two people go at each other, there's a third person that finds it necessary to rush in and inject themselves into the issue. Beaver Island is a better place because the self appointed hall monitor is on watch to right every wrong. Have a Great Than...

Re: We ALL NEED DENTAL service
Sheriff with a snowplow in the morning. Dentist in the afternoon.....I think you're on to something. I know in Chicago they put snowplows on the garbage trucks. As long as the garbage truck is driving around picking up trash have them move the snow at the same time.

Re: We ALL NEED DENTAL service

Beaver Bump and Dashwoode,
Welcome to the forum, although by your post count you would be perceived as new the forum, your writing style and replies have ratted you out.

Re: New Survey on Consolidation
One thing that jumps out at me is the non-voting property owners approve of the consolidation over 81%. This is validation that the non-homestead taxpayers have felt taken advantage of and have bore the burden for too long. [-X [-X I would think if the elected officials would recognize that if they ...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
If those that love Beaver Island, both property owners and those of us that only visit each summer, saw true fiscal responsibility by the elected township officials, there wouldn't be a consolidation issue on the ballot and there would be more donations like the fire truck in 2004. For too long it's...
