M-24 Roadwork aka Driving Disaster

While I appreciate the long overdue improvements being made to M-24, I don’t appreciate the lack of thought of its consequences. This is the main thoroughfare into and out of Lake Orion. It is the only route to get to the only high school, a middle school and several housing communities. With the already-in-progress construction […]

Resident expresses concerns about schools

I am concerned about reading a portion of the Lake Orion School District’s Superintendent Marion Ginopolis’ comments wherein she stated at the end of Jim Newell’s article of Wed., Sept. 7, 2016, “that the building and site sinking fund would also allow the district to build up its fund balance.

Some weeds are two feet tall; with many buildings surrounded with unsightly weeds. Why can’t people in POWER take care […]

Democratic candidate expresses frustration with GOP politicians

Too much garbage

It doesn’t matter if it’s the political signs that are a distraction and an eyesore – they should only be allowed at polling stations on election day – or the political garbage that comes in the mail from the GOP: No Thanks!
