In the Senate, many of you put your lives on the line to battle dictators around the world. What I would like to ask is, where is that same courage to stand up to the dictator in the White House? Didn’t you take the same oath to protect the country? What would John McCain have […]
Today everyone has a calendar or a list reminding us of what we have to do. We get up in the morning and check to see what is on our to-do list. Some of us may even check it before we go to bed at night. We scan our required to-do’s first as they receive […]
Dear Editor, Unlike the letter writers in last week’s Review, the houses on my street have experienced repeated failures by GFL to pick up trash and recyclables. Despite repeated phone calls by myself and my neighbors to GFL, we continue to wait…and wait…and wait. The first week of service came and went without pick-up; I […]

Editor’s note: this letter was submitted to developer Jeff Schmitz and Lake Orion Village Manager Joe Young and printed with permission from the writer. Good Afternoon Jeff & Joe, I hope the holidays brought about good times for you & your families. I am writing in regards to the recent development of 120 S. Broadway […]
This letter concerns the proposed development requested by Jeff Schmitz. I am opposed to this development for several reasons. 1. I don’t think Mr. Schmitz’s current four-story building should have been allowed or approved. This exceeded the height limit and now blocks our quaint downtown view from Lapeer Road.
