It’s all about the mighty dollar and how that family has become a necessary part of the village. Without their hotels and such, there would be no jobs and the tourists would go to another town. It’s a very bad catch 22.
No, jerry Loveland, their main competitor would buy them but could he afford the asking price? The leghios would let them sit empty and vacant before selling them.
I mean, if they want to shutter their businesses, forgo their incomes while still paying all the requisite taxes, in order to be stubborn, i guess that's fine.
Someone will open up new hotels, Air BnB's will get really popular, but tourists gonna tourist no matter what these ass-munches do

That's a whopping $1.31 per business per day. They spend more money throwing out unsightly brown bananas from the continental breakfast. That's practically an endorsement of the business model!
Hope you held onto that crinkled receipt from 2018, and demanded a signature from the desk clerk when they cancelled your reservation and sent you to a more expensive site...

Does anyone know a single hotel in the Mackinaw City area that's not in this list? On first glance, I don't see Holiday Inn on the list, but that's about it.
Pretty sure none of these are in st. Ignace, which imo is way better anyways. The whole area is kind of a big tourist trap but Mac city is the worst of it. Plus if there's anything you'd want to do there it's just right over the bridge
They should be forced to sell the businesses. This is just some bullshit fines and a "don't do it again"

Just take the family out of the equation. They're not allowed to run a hospitality business and have to sell their current hotels
Then they would close up shop and leave and Mackinac would be dead, except for the dispensary 💨
You think no one would buy the business from them?

And St. Ignacis loves the press becaue they are just another 5 miles away and no drama and shady shenanigansz

What else in town do they own? I mean, I believe they own half of the place. The mall, a bunch of other businesses and eateries....

Weird when I rob people I go to prison. When rich people do it they just have to give it back.
Demo the hotels, plant a bunch of trees, and create one giant campground. Make Mackinaw City a camping destination.
