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. Those opportunities are in jeopardy and I would like to urge my fellow residents to vote “Yes” on Nov. 6 to ensure that our school district will remain competitive with […]
As the mother of a first grader and a third grader enrolled in Lake Orion Schools, to say I have a vested interest is an understatement. My husband and I moved here 11 years ago largely based on the wonderful praise that Lake Orion Schools had always received. We knew we wanted to start a […]

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 […]
The school bond debt is high and citizens will pay higher taxes over time. I’ve considered this bond debt from many different perspectives: mother of LO students, previous business owner, LOHS graduate, property owner and community advocate.
