Be aware and vigilant of the DDA bond issue and it’s appearance on the Village Council agenda. Let the Village Council and Manager know your feelings about this community liability. If it’s passed this liability will have to be honored regardless of the DDA’s financial situation. Harry Stephen Lake Orion
The ” great and powerful” OZ (Donald Trump) recently said about Putin and Zelenskyy that if left up to him he would put the two of them in a room “knock some heads together” and make them figure it out. Not such an inane idea if put to the Lake Orion Village Council, the DDA […]
Re: “Lake Orion DDA gets extension on proposed Lake Orion Lumber Yard property purchase,” March 1, 2023, Lake Orion Review. This is a fantastic plan and certainly an improvement over the 150-plus apartments the previous developer was trying to put in. The only concern I have, I do not see how you get all this […]
It has hit our state again and I feel for the parents, and the students who gave up their lives and the ones who were shocked to experience such a terrible act at Michigan State University. There isn’t a day that goes by that there isn’t somebody shot and killed in Detroit or surrounding areas. […]
I wish to thank the Oxford Leader and the Lake Orion Review for the wonderful Feb. 22 article regarding the Free Meals program at Immanuel Congregational United Church of Christ. Lake Orion Review Editor Jim Newell’s storytelling abilities are nothing short of masterful. He’s really gotten to know our team. He understands what we’re doing. […]
Michigan State University…another mass shooting. Let us not ignore another at a mall and another… We listen and watch, but, ultimately, there is nothing individually we can do. I was far away and you probably were too. Still, I watched praying for a quick response and quick solution to an awful tragedy. Prayers may seem […]
The largest and most powerful ice storm hit the tri-county area recently and fortunately Lake Orion was spared the grief and misfortune. It could be luck but we think that it had something to do with good management of the power system and having periodic check ups to assure that all is in readiness for […]
I attended the Feb. 13 Lake Orion Village Council meeting where the Lake Orion government again proved how incompetent they can be. There was supposed to be a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the DDA Lumber Yard proposal. The meeting was canceled because of concerns about the $5 million taxpayer funded bond to […]
We moved here in 1997 due to the excellent school district and the multitude of lakes, trails and parks. Unfortunately, the downtown was a little disappointing with limited stores and restaurants and a park that was in need of attention. For the next 10 years we rarely visited downtown. After the streetscape project we saw […]
My heart breaks as I think about the tragedy that unfolded at Michigan State University. It is now, more than ever, that we need to cherish our children. Do so openly and express your love to them. America’s children are distressed coming out of the pandemic, reporting high levels of sadness and other health-related issues, […]
