Dear Editor, I was totally disgusted when I read Andy Meisner’s comments. L. Brooks Patterson was the best thing that ever happened to Oakland County. Why do you think he was re-elected so many times? He had our back. He saved us from so many money grabs by Wayne County and Detroit as well as […]
Dear Editor, I was born and raised in the Clarkston community and am very proud of that. I love our small town. I love walking down Main Street and through Depot Park whenever I get the chance. As a Clarkston graduate and longtime employee of two Clarkston businesses, I have had the pleasure of getting […]
Dear Editor, There have been several letters in the Detroit Free Press commending the result of the Governor’s actions based on data to control COVID-19. An examination comparing Michigan data to our neighboring states shows a different picture. The following data shows percentages of cases per population followed by number of deaths per case: US […]
Dear Editor, After a peek into his character, Andy Meisner will not be receiving my vote. L. Brooks Patterson was a man of honor and integrity and hard work from his days as Oakland County Prosecutor to last days as Oakland County Executive, a title I hope Andy Meisner will never have the opportunity to […]
Dear Mr. Meisner, It was with a heavy heart when my daughter and I attended Brooks’ funeral last August. To lose a man that cherished his family unconditionally and a man that strove for excellence throughout his leadership of Oakland County was devastating. To besmirch Brooks by calling him a racist and a misogynist and […]
Dear Editor, Just read the the despicable comments that Andy Meisner made (Clarkston News, June 24), calling Brooks Patterson “a racist, misogynist, and xenophobe.” These are the go-to words the D.C. Democrats use against Republicans constantly, and Mr. Meisner seems to be right on board with these sorts of insults. If he thinks he’s going […]
The kids are (still) home from school. The days are getting longer. The construction zones are growing. Temperatures are reaching the 80s and 90s. We think baseball is coming back to Comerica Park. All these are signs of summer, yes? Throw in the Primary Election coming up in August and there are many reasons why […]

Clarkston Mayor Eric Haven is hoping to launch a campaign encouraging residents to plant trees on the city easement in front of their homes in Clarkston. “Nancy and I did this several years ago in front of our house and received a tax deduction for it,” Haven said. “Annually, the city removes trees around the […]
