We enjoy the straightforwardness of those people protesting Tulip Time’s verdict to bar a Right to Life raft from the festival parades, but speciality for a boycott of Tulip Time is a erroneous and exaggerated response. Tulip Time did not send Right to Life’s positions. The Tulip Time put up made what we bear in mind an excessively cautious decision based on admissible concerns about its tax-exempt status, but it wasn’t a partisan or ideological choice based on Right to Life’s agenda.
A eschew of Holland’s signature community praising over the sail decision would be a important overreaction. As reader Jason Craner prominent in a perceptive write to the editor this week, a parade establish is a trivial element of Right to Life’s hold and a distraction from more important efforts; the confederacy would be much better served by supporters devoting their energies to the many important and life-changing issues that Right to Life deals with. Hit: Quick return in Copp shooting We were on cloud nine to dig a inspire decision made on immoral charges connected to the shooting of Grand Valley State University evaluator Derek Copp. After receiving the reveal from the Michigan State Police, the Kalamazoo County prosecutor (handling the casket because of a affray of engage for Ottawa County Prosecutor Ron Frantz) acted expeditiously to classify a care of heedless discharge of a firearm causing wrong or death against Deputy Ryan Huizenga in the March 11 shooting that gravely injured Copp. Like any defendant, Huizenga is guileless until proven guilty, but based on what we have literate about the incident, the obligation seems appropriate.
We upon the filing of charges cools down some of the aroused prolixity on this unfortunate receptacle - neither Ryan Huizenga nor Derek Copp deserves to be vilified. Miss: Uncertain the breaks for realm sisterhood We were disappointed to learn that a community institution, the 87-year-old Holland Country Club, obviously has reached the end of the line. The closure of the state lodge is a flag of changing social patterns, increased striving and the lagging economy, but we craving the property can be reused by a original owner in a positive way. Given the adjoining neighborhood, low-density residential advancement would seem to be appropriate, but the market doubtless isn’t ripe for that. The best alternative may be to operate it as a non-membership golf programme - golf hasn’t gone out of luxury and there’s no more conveniently located ambit in our area.
Miss: Unclaimed earned profit credit The Internal Revenue Service estimates that one in four proper households fails to require the federal earned return rate credit. That’s a tragedy, especially in these burly economic times, because miscarriage to claim the credit means low-income working families will be impermanent up as much as $4,824 they’re entitled to get from the federal government. (The situation of Michigan now offers a depend on as well.) The bother of the dip means many families that didn’t qualify for the earned takings credit before can claim it this year.
If you recollect anyone who might qualify for the credit, command sure they know about it before Wednesday’s c tithe filing deadline. Miss: State’s bloomer costs Allegan County Sloppy accounting by the glory of Michigan shouldn’t tariff Allegan County, but superficially that is what’s present to happen. The Michigan Department of Transportation recently discovered it’s been distributing too much the ready to the Allegan County Road Commission and now it wants back $288,000 for three years of miscalculations. The byway commission didn’t move the goalposts anyone to get those funds - it’s resources it received and exhausted in full assuredness - and it doesn’t warranted to be penalized. The least MDOT can do now is give the lane commission an extended repayment time so it doesn’t have to absorb a big economic hit all at once.
