Letter to the Editor: Resident in search of vaccine

Dear Editor, HELP! I am amazed that politicians (Biden, Whitmer, Coulter, Duggan, etc.) use announcements on the expansion for vaccine eligibility for political purposes. There are many people in the top two or three tiers that have not been able to receive their vaccine shots. My wife and I are in our mid-70s and have not […]

Letter to the Editor: Supporting Rep. Slotkin

Dear Editor, I am a big fan of our Representative Elissa Slotkin. A yes vote for HR1 is a good start with putting elections back in the hands of all U.S. citizens. HR1 changes campaign finance laws to reduce influence of money in politics. HR1 puts limits on gerrymandering and introduces new ethics rules for […]

Letter to the Editor: More questions for the city

Dear Editor, In the spirit of Sunshine Week (March 14-20), promoting open government is good government, here are some things I think the City of the Village of Clarkston should be informing the public about: What is the status of the settlement of the Bisio v City of the Village of Clarkston Freedom of Information […]

Dear Editor,  Sherman Publications, Inc. (publisher of The Citizen and The Clarkston News) is to be congratulated for the “Mangia” section of the newspapers.

Letter to the Editor: Not a fan of Rep. Slotkin

Dear Editor, Our representative, Elisa Slotkin, along with six other Michigan federal representatives, voted in favor of the H.R. 1 “For the People Act.” With this, Representative Slotkin is taking away power from us in Michigan to determine how to run our elections. This indicates that Representative Slotkin does not think the people of Michigan […]

Letter to the Editor: The fight to stay the same

Dear Editor, I have been involved in the planning of Independence Township for 17 years. I moved here in 1996 and immediately declared this was where we were going to raise our family. It was one of the last quaint small towns in North Oakland County. As the other communities south of here started going […]

Letter to the Editor: Putting political parties aside

Dear Editor, Sometimes, I feel the behavior of our legislators in Washington and in Lansing are such that we would be better off completely removing the word “bi-partisan” from our vocabulary. There are, however, glimmers of encouragement in the behavior of some of our legislators that a “bi-partisan” approach to representing all of the people […]

Letter to the Editor: More thoughts on trash haulers

Dear Editor, This is a response to the Feb. 17 letter “Saying no to single trash hauler,” to supplement what Mr. Stoner covered in his letter. First, I spent 40 years working for a large national transportation company taking business from small companies and eliminating competition. Second, Advanced and Waste Management are not local companies. […]
