Beaver Island Michigan

Vince: Everything you said makes sense, but shutting down an informative forum is not the way to go. We just need to direct people to the Chamber of Commerce sight that extolls the virtues of Beaver Island. Otherwise maybe people posting should state that this is their opinion and is not the opinion...

Good job Marie and Pam.

I always thought the Pirate was the son Manny Moore.

Kathe: You are naïve to think that there are no repercussion for some that place their name out there into the web.

Andy: I will try and explain to you why it is relevant. If members are needed to fill two boards of review, under the two townships, it will take lets say 5 from each township (10 total). In a consolidated township it will take 5 from the same number of citizens as there are in the two separate town...

Andy: Any board in both township have been having trouble so I have mentioned those that might be in a single township. These are just off the top of my head. I am not trying to quibble over how many. BI Municipal Dock, St. James Campground, Electors from both townships, Boards of Review from both t...

Andy: There are several more but we don't need to quibble over the number. BITA, Zoning boards, Planning, like you said and others that come and go on Beaver.

Andy: How about the fact that committees and elected positions have many more people to choose from if the townships are consolidated. It was always hard to fill important committee positions for both townships. PS Kathe (fake name) You are not welcome to use my address, phone # or anything else. Pa...

Maybe she is out shopping. I should have bet on John or Andy.

I am sorry Kathe that I can't give you my address. Those against consolidation would never wave at me again. Also if I get a dog where will I get him groomed. I can't risk it.

Mike made a very good point. Also have you, Kathe, John and Andy, ever thought that both St. James and Peaine taxes will end up equal and lower when all is said and done. Think positive.

Kathe: I really like the Pirate. He pushes you over the edge quite easily.

My family will truly miss the Burtons if this comes about. Please consider staying and putting up a good fight.

Sounds like a great project. A comment on "Bump". The only Bump I know is the late UofM football coach Bump Elliot.
