Regarding payroll tax: President Trump has promised to permanently eliminate payroll taxes is he is re-elected. I just thought that some people might not realize that the taxes are Social Security and Medicare. If they are eliminated, senior citizens and permanently disabled people would no longer receive these benefits. Seniors and the disabled would lose […]
With the greatest possible respect to the five other candidates competing for the four open positions on our Lake Orion Community Schools Board of Education, I would like to publicly endorse three candidates in particular, namely Scott Taylor, Danielle Bresett and Misty Morris.

Citizens in the United States have always visited other countries around the world. Some country’s feel our country’s response, or lack of response, to the pandemic was not enough. Those countries have put travel restrictions on us. We are six months into this pandemic and we are still hearing “stay home” if we can because […]

We met and became friends when our sons were in kindergarten together at Blanche Sims. During our time there, Danielle was highly involved. Not only in volunteering in our sons’ classrooms, but also volunteering with […]
I enthusiastically endorse and urge support of Misty Morris for the school board. She’s a lifelong resident who knows and loves this community.
