One cannot say Democrats are not organized. A letter run on these pages two weeks ago mimicked Biden’s State of the Union presentation so well; you could suppose the letter writer had been provided an advance copy! Her remarks were filled with the same mischaracterizations as his speech. Government, particularly the federal government, has gone […]
Last November, Clarkston City Council approved contracts for electric vehicle charging stations in city parking lots. Before the meeting, I sent a detailed email to council members noting several defects in the contracts. The city attorney assured the council he took care of those problems. He didn’t. Here are the persisting defects in those contracts: […]
I would like for someone to inform the community in the area of Sashabaw and Waldon roads of another misleading project that Pulte Homes is developing in “The Towns at Waldon Village.” The small Meijer “grocery only” being added into the village development is far from small. My wife and I visited one of those […]
Dear Editor, We would like to thank all those that donated and/or helped with collecting, packing and sending 43 boxes to our troops stationed in Poland. In particular, we wanted to thank the American Legion Post 63, Katie Bowman of Bowman Chevrolet, and Dr. Kenneth Thomas, DDS, of Clarkston for their contributions to this project. […]
There’s good news about the economy. Inflation has been coming down for the past six months and unemployment is very low. President Biden’s economic plan is working and improving lives for Americans. President Biden’s economic policies and the Inflation Reduction Act are reducing the deficit. President Trump increased the national debt by 41 percent, and […]
I’ve lived in Clarkston over 30 years and I love it here. I have driven by the Independence Township Fire Station at Sashabaw and Clarkston roads a thousand times. I’ve always felt safer having them there, but luckily, I have never had to use them…until now. Around 4 a.m. on Jan. 4, I was hit […]
Why does Clarkston continue to employ a city attorney who insists on conducting city business in secret? At the January 9, 2023, council meeting, he insisted that the council not publicly discuss the potential disputes regarding the Mill Pond Bed & Breakfast property, although the council discussed the matter at length at other meetings. He […]
Magically, Santa made a very special appearance at Calvary Lutheran Church on Nov. 12. The Rotary Club of Clarkston held its “Shoes for Kids” program benefiting Clarkston school children. This year, 400 children were invited to receive new shoes, winter boots, hats, and gloves from the Rotary Club. Each child showed their enthusiasm when picking […]
The Clarkston Rotary last Saturday invited 400 Clarkston school children to our annual Shoes for Kids program. Over 320 volunteers worked over four days to collect donations and distribute new shoes, winter boots, hats, and gloves to the invited children. In addition, I have received a request from the Clarkston Community Schools for new or […]
One of the things that made Clarkston such a desirable place to live is the mill pond. Now it is in jeopardy as the owners of the dam no longer want to pay the upkeep and liability. They are checking into having the dam removed and just a stream running through. Now, to the owners, […]
