You need a road map (do they still make those?) to figure out all the political twists and turns as everybody running for office tries to figure out what to do about the high price of gas. Stating the problem is the easy part. Motorists are fed up by having to spend all their previous ...
Imagine teaching our children that bullying, name-calling and personal attacks are acceptable ways to get what you want. Now imagine those tactics showing up in the homes where children live. That is exactly what Alpena voters received last week in a political mailer attacking four candidates for our school board. What makes this even more troubling is that the mailing was paid for by the Alpena County Republican Party, for an election to nonpartisan school board seats. School board elections are supposed to be about the people willing to serve our children, their qualifications, ...
Wow. This is perhaps the new low. The Alpena County Republican Party (ACRP) just conducted the biggest smear campaign imaginable. Instead of talking about the qualifications and vision of the four school board candidates they are endorsing and funding, they decided instead to spend thousands on a flyer that can only be described as hate-filled mudslinging. As a reminder to all, school board seats are nonpartisan and yet the ACRP not only endorsed four candidates, they also funded the signage you see for them around the county. Then they doubled-down by funding a 11x6” flyer that was ...
Election season puts a spotlight on key issues, and taxes typically rise to the top of the lsit. This year, under the misconception that taxes are too high here in the Mitten State, candidates for state office have been eyeing risky tax reforms. Some proposals would cut Michigan’s income ...
Voting Blue because of Trump 250 years ago our forefathers gave us the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. We the people must come out in droves to keep our Democracy alive. No matter what the party, religion, what color, or creed you are, to keep the Freedom of Press alive for us all. Our moral fiber and souls are being torn apart by the fascist and lying Donald Trump and his 2025 project, cabinet sympathizers. Don “The Con” Trump and his corruption are bankrupting this country. He’s not a Conservative. $10.2 million ads to promote himself with taxpayer’s money. ...
Jack Bergman is asking us to return him to Congress. In the 8 years he's been in office, his votes in the House have destroyed industry, livelihoods, and lives. Every time I fill up my gas tank, I think of Bergman and his cowardice to stand up against Trump's war of choice with Iran. Without Congressional approval, that illegal war which has spilled American blood, has driven up the cost of diesel and gasoline world-wide. In this rural district, affordable gas and diesel are our life-line to a job, health care, education for our kids, and more. Further, it's forced farmers into ...
