I am both saddened and angered by the deceptive tactics the Lake Orion Schools administration and board have taken to sell their bond request. The bond issue is $160 million and, coupled with the associated bond interest ($80.3 million) and loan interest from the SLRF ($10.3 million), the total amount to be repaid is $ […]
By Linda La Croix On the morning of one of my niece’s milestone birthdays, I sent her a special text. As I picked up my phone, flashes of her as a baby, the day she was born and the times we have shared popped into my mind. Through tear filled eyes, I texted how the […]
There’s a lot of information out there about the Lake Orion Community Schools bond proposal. Some of the numbers are designed to make it seem as if we are headed towards some doomsday scenario, which simply is not true. Please seek out the facts instead of relying on sound bites or slogans. Much of the […]
Regular readers of The Lake Orion Review and perhaps my column, know that I like to inject a bit of light heartedness and some humor in my columns. It’s what I do and frankly as I look back on years of columns, there always seems to be some jocular (I like that word) comments in […]
Five years ago my husband and I moved to Lake Orion mostly in part due to the incredible opportunities that Lake Orion affords its students.

She is entitled to have her opinion about the value of the Bond projects. Likewise, I am entitled to my opinion and it is that the $51.5 million planned for a new elementary school, tearing down […]
I urge voters in the Michigan 46th House district to vote for Mindy Denninger. Mindy lives in Oxford and is an engineer. As an engineer she uses facts, science and data to develop solutions to problems. With all the issues that the State of Michigan will face in the near future, we need a representative […]
What the hell is going on in Lake Orion? So, we now have a (marijuana) grow operation that’s going to start breaking ground in LO? The article says supported by Orion township’s and specifically (Orion Twp. Supervisor) Chris Barnett. What does this township stand for? I’ve been a resident for over 50 years and (my) […]
The Lake Orion school board has proposed adding $160,000,000 in new debt over the next ten years. Most residents received a slick flyer in the mail telling them this will not increase our tax rate, which is misleading at best. The flyer is designed to make us think we are getting something for nothing. No […]
