Now that the midterm election period is behind us, I would like to say that I hope in the future there will be no political signs displayed on the Village Hall and Police department property. Prior to the election, I was dismayed to see a dozen political signs advertising only candidates belonging to the GOP […]

Wrapping up Halloween was different this year. Could be my imagination, but it seems like our fall temperatures have been warmer than usual. This gave me a chance to spend more time outside, enjoying fall, than in prior Octobers. Walking a puppy in the late hours of the night, I appreciated the better weather and […]
It’s “that time of the quarter” again, time to receive the dreaded water bill from the Village of Lake Orion. Once again, the monthly cost exceeds that of gas and electricity combined.

I fully agree with Ms. Ebner’s analysis regarding how over-development is largely responsible for frequent excessive heat episodes and with her exhortation to “increase our forests, […]

I have worked in this town in various capacities, mostly in the non-profit sector. In […]

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 […]
