I don’t really know who Marty Lagina is, but his attack on Grant Parsons warrants a stiff response.
Mr. Lagina wrote a list of grievances, most of which were petulant and personal.
In his attempt to smear Grant by diminishing his long advocacy for those who have been mistreated and those seeking to protect the land of Northern Michigan, Mr. Lagina misrepresented a distinguished man’s career.
Mr. Lagina’s call for an undeserved apology tells me that his original comment to the Gazette was a petty vendetta, and at best, a plea for attention.
Grant’s reply to Lagina’s self-important rhetoric is measured and downright neighborly. Enough said.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
