Greeting Indivisibles,
Lots to cover today. First I want to encourage any of you who have not taken our survey to do so before March 6. We want to know what you care about and how we can help you achieve the kind of Leelanau County we all want. It only a takes a minute or two. Here is the link. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LW72JQG
Then join us at our next regular Indivisible meeting on Saturday, March 13 at 10:00 on Zoom. We will discuss the results of our survey and provide you with some of the things you requested from us.Don’t miss it. Register at the link below.
You are invited to a Zoom meeting. When: Mar 13, 2021 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
And can it possibly be time for another County Board of Commissioner’s meeting? I guess February was a short month. The executive meeting for the BOC will be next Tuesday, March 9 at 9:00on Zoom. You can view the meeting live at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNQTgIgcTedF2qB8floC1GQ?view_as=subscriber. Some of the issues of special interest on the agenda are the septic program,antibias training, and a new resolution from Will Bunek on the Covid virus. To view the entire agenda as well as a copy of the resolution and instructions on how to provide public comment go to https://www.leelanau.gov/downloads/03092021_executive_board_agenda_amended.pdf. Please note if you intend to make a public comment and want your remarks included in the written minutes for the meeting you should send a copy to the Clerk’s office ahead of the meeting.
And finally, 5.6 billion dollars in supplemental Covid relief funds were provided by Congress for Michigan. Two months later, none of this has been allocated thanks to the inaction of our GOP-controlled legislature. Governor Whitmer can’t spend this money until the legislature allocates it. This money could be used for food assistance, vaccine distribution, unemployment, and other badly needed programs. Reach out to your representative and senator and tell them that they need to allocate this money and put it to use helping the citizens of Michigan. What are they waiting for? I have provided the contact information for your Senators and Representatives below.
Looking forward to seeing all of you at our meeting on the March 13.
Stay well,
Jill
