Call it the West Michigan land grab.
In a challenging real estate market with prices going down and the number of properties for sale going up, one buyer continues to shop for property: local government.
And some people aren’t happy about it.
“During these economic times, they need to tighten their belt,” said Teg Baxter, a Holland Township resident.

LETTER - Don't be blind to Israel's faults

Posted Jan 05, 2009 @ 10:48 PM
Park Township, MI —

Who are the terrorists and why do we back them? Consider the four Israeli deaths and the more than 500 Palestinian deaths in the conflict in Gaza. Previous to the start of this conflict, the Israelis had imposed horrible sanctions, not allowing in food, water and medical equipment. Electricity was severely cut and basic human rights were ignored. I would respond, wouldn’t you?


LETTER - Gas prices: When will we learn?

Posted Jan 05, 2009 @ 10:47 PM
Zeeland, MI —

What about the gas prices? This summer we saw the price of gasoline reach a record $4.24 here in West Michigan, with price rising steadily the entire year to that point.


I never heard so much fear, complaining, finger-pointing and political flaming from so many people across the country. No one could escape the talk of how the gas prices were affecting every class of our country from the poor to the rich, from the business owners to the common workingman. For the first time in over a decade the pickup truck and SUV was unseated as the most-sold class of vehicle. Our nation’s presidential race had a huge focus on the cost of gasoline. Senate leaders in Washington were summoning oil company leaders and grilling them on Capitol Hill as if they were criminals.
