Dear Editor, In attending the March 17 Orion Township Board of Trustees meeting, I couldn’t help but listen to the crying and bellyaching some of our Oakland County Road Commissioners were chanting. If I heard correctly, the chants were, ‘We’re operating over our budget? The federal government and the state of Michigan have cut back […]
