Beaver Island Michigan

I have been and remain calm with the exception of expecting more from BITA in a public statement showing some contrition regretting that interested people were denied access to their meeting. After that, BITA could then have announced that a special meeting will be called to rectify the error. Until...

Once on the boat and out in the lake, what can be done with those noncomplying with the law? Ho...

I received an e-mail last night from Bob (Tidmore) saying he was confident that vets will be wearing masks on Saturday. I appreciated his e-mail and I expressed to him that I hope those attending on Saturday will also be wearing masks. I do not understand people refusing to wear masks. Masks are to ...

Bob -
Thank you. Wearing masks will not only keep our vets safe but honor them by showing we respect their lives now as well as their service.

I'm not sure how 38% is arrived at from any credible source but I can unequivocally say the Trump's percent in handling of COVID-19 is zero. With that, I'll go with the 38% anytime.
