The current governor of Michigan is NOT a leader. She is a copycat. When the COVID pandemic hit, she copied what Governor Gavin Newsome of California and Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York did. She shut down restaurants and small businesses and told people to stay home. But she let manufacturing concerns with union members […]
This year voters have a choice on the ballot. The operative word is “choice.” Since Dobbs overturned Roe v Wade, we have seen women who: 1. Could not get their regular medication because it can possibly be used to abort a child. 2. Have a miscarriage but cannot have a follow-up to make sure the […]
Jake Singer is an exemplary school board member. He has earned our trust and support for re-election. A few notable aspects of Jake’s leadership stand out: 1) He does his homework. Jake is always well researched and is prepared no matter the issue. 2) He is a critical thinker with the ability to challenge thinking, […]

It seemed like a progressive government that promoted these things versus being dedicated to automobiles and parking. I could have moved anywhere, but here I am. Our three local governments […]
Orion Area Youth Assistance would like to thank the families who joined us on Sept. 21 at the CERC building for our first Family Fun Fest in more than two years. We loved seeing the families spending time together and hearing the laughter and excitement of Lake Orion students enjoying so many free activities on […]
