Dear Editor, I enthusiastically endorse Laura Moreau for Springfield Township supervisor. She is a strong, principled leader who has the vision to protect and advance Springfield Township. As a member of the Springfield Township Zoning Board of Appeals for eight years and the chair of the Dixie Lake Improvement Board for 10 years, I have […]
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 […]

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 […]
Dear Editor, I agree with Sam Moroco and Jim Reed (CNews June 10, June 17) that we don’t need glitzy signage in our village. Please leave our village as is. Glad 2020 grads had their day. I’m concerned pictures showed that grads not complying with CDC guidelines. No masks and no distancing. I hope none […]
Dear Editor, First of all, thank you for publishing the article, “Quarantine strands resident in Peru,” in the April 1, 2020 edition. Luckily, I was able to return to the United States on a U.S. Embassy Government evacuation flight to Washington Dulles on April 9, 2020. After experiencing a few weeks of living under martial […]
