How does the consolidation vote work?
Is it a simple majority?
Does it have to pass by a certain percentage in each township?

IF the consolidation should pass do you know if the speed limit on Main Street in front of the hardware store and the ferry dock will change?

I would hope the new administration wouldn't mess with the speed limit as this could be seen as a health and safety issue.

Andy wonders "who cares" ... do any of us expect any less from you. Most of us are at the point where we can almost write the replies of Kathe, Andy, Bill, John and Tracey to any post on any topic. Unlike Kathe who say's she not going to reply to a thread any longer and then continues agai...

Kathe: I have to apologize to you for not understanding that my jerking you around had such an effect on you. I now understand that I drove you to think I was demented or having the first stages of dementia. This led you to actually try to contact my relatives on facebook , which I consider a no-no....

I get a kick out of you John, you kick the can down the road and stir the pot with speculation and then when people reply and question what you're up to....suddenly you're "confused"

do a little research John, you can easily find out who registered a domain. ](*,) it took me about 30 seconds to find out who registered it. From this thread and the "NEW Facebook Targeted Island Advertising" thread you highjacked, you seem quite concerned someone might be doing something ...

This would be a good time to seek the advice of a tax and estate attorney. This is more than changing where you're registered to vote. You are changing your primary residence also and you have to prove that you have moved your primary residence. You can't just change where you're registered to vote ...

John McCafferty post above.... "Mr. Pike there is not a dentist issue in my opinion and there never has been." Then why did you reply and challenge others 59 times on the dentist thread. As of March 20, 2018 there were 219 post on the dentist thread and you posted to it 59 times that's a w...

wow John, for a second as I was reading your most recent rant to EC (ED) I might've thought I was reading a post that almost anyone could've written about about their right to question the BIRHC and their behavior related to the dentist. It's amazing that if someone wrote the same thing you just wro...

This has turned into an interesting tread. Let me see if I got this right. Just pick an issue, it doesn't even have to be this one. IF someone or in this case a couple of people, bring to light an issue... THEN: IF you don't like the way they delivered their message. IF you don't like the tone of th...

This one is too hard to resist. Kathe replied to a post.... "Thank you for your post. I appreciate you wanting the arguing to stop. I do too." John replied to the same post.... "Also Ken why donâ??t you attack the people in a more private way one on one??" and then what does Kath...

Since I've been told I don't have a say in this issue, I can only sit on the sideline and read the various post. I will say that even without the right to comment it's still a good read. Some of the people remind me of the neighbors old dog that used to chase it's tail. It was funny to watch, but de...

consolidation of townships is not just a topic on Beaver Island. Another interesting read, food for thought.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Kathe,
You can go ahead and call it retreat, I'll call it serenity, courage and wisdom.
