Delta County MI Board of Commissioners Meeting (5/6/2025): Veteran Committee, Administration and Amtrak

Three major topics include taking care of veterans with the development of the Committee of County Veterans, possible Amtrak coming through town/UP, and new administrative positions. 

First, I think our veterans are an excellent group of people and I have come to know many over my life. Empowering them and maximizing their contributions to society is important not only to them but also society itself. I think of this from a village standpoint centuries ago. If warriors came back from helping and protecting our village, we would do our best to give them opportunities for a happy life.Sometimes we are removed from the curtain of how things could have been if we lost some of our wars. Thank you vets! 

Second, Amtrak could potentially bring a whole new tourist route and much of the track to Green Bay may already exist. With tourism ships and other investments, we are continuing the journey of transformation that could potentially create a shiny investment and vacation gem on the Great Lakes.

Third, if a position is designed well, it can generate more positive benefits than it costs. Streamlining some of the work might help in focusing on what provides the most value for people. No job is immune from bloat on trivial activities that generate little return (Yes, I have worked for many years and trust me time wasting activities just creeps in all the time.)
