Michigan legislative action thread
Will watch, thanks.
Having grown up on Lake Charlevoix in Boyne City, I have fond memories of what was available to me in terms of hunting, fishing, water skiing, snow skiing and just walking fields and forests behind my house just outside of town.
Last summer I ventured up there for my 45 year class reunion, maybe the third time I had been up there in the past 30 years or so.
Times have certainly changed over the years; condos on the waterfront, new houses everywhere, even the once dirt road that ran up past my house now accesses small subdivisions along its route.
There's been no substantive industry created to allow for this influx of housing but rather they're the "up-north" homes of the wealthy from southern Michigan and northern Ohio..........
There are several old friends who have made fortunes up there in real estate sales and new home design and construction, but the vast majority of those who lived in town now live outside in the various small townships which have been created where the tax base is smaller.
Boyne City is where I grew up but it's no longer a place I want to spend my remaining years......
