The signs at the entrances to Lake Orion say it all: ‘Where Living Is A Vacation!. Anyone who lives in this idyllic community knows firsthand that this friendly town is a quiet respite from the noise and confusion and unrest prevalent in a lot of other cities and communities.

The three years that Trump-nocchio (President Donald Trump) has been in office he has wasted hundreds of millions of dollars flying to his golf resort, protection for his family and going to rallies.

His calling the American Legion Building “worthless” and anything that would get built in its place would be “ten times better” than what is “there now”, is an insult to all that […]
Orion Twp. Officials, Well…I got my trash bill…you got your wish…hooray for you. A couple weeks ago I wrote to complain about this plan to take money from the people of Orion.
