Beaver Island Michigan

Step back, sometimes living too close to the forest it is hard to see the trees that others can make out clearly from a distance.

Andy and Others, As you know Clare and I have made the very difficult decision to retire in Door County, Wisconsin over Beaver Island which will always hold a special place in our hearts. It's for this reason that I am trying to point out that enough is enough of the "nastiness" you refer ...

Continued harassment on the forum after making one's point nausiatingly clear with several posts and attacks.

I would agree that Chambers and townships could be considered apples and oranges but how can "let's work together" be disparate unless you are just tossing in bananas? I would go with "pushing" forward over dragging down any day.

It is good to hear from others expressing their concerns. Hopefully enough voices will bring about a positive change in operations and costs.
