"All of this B.S. you are experiencing on a continuing basis shows why most people put up with corrupt politicians, the  unjust courts and those out of control officials who twist the laws  they enforce. People just do not want to anger…"

"Your title says it all, X...unreal. All I can think is that someone (referred to as the mayor? Formerly COP) Is pulling all plugs to try to sink your ship and the reason is because they are corrupt and don't want to provide the public with…"

Discovering Corruption

BackgroundThree times early this year, the Ludington Torch (LT) requested body cam footage of three separate incidents where the individuals involved or the available public record indicated that the Ludington Police Department (LPD) had violated the rights of the public quite explicitly and often with unnecessary violence. The former city manager (until a former police chief became mayor) and former police chief had a commitment to transparency, offering up such footage to the LT for 13 of 13…See More

"If nothing in the standing supervisor contract suggests that they must work 40 hours (as indicated by a trustee) and only must only be a full-time employee, then 35 hours satisfies that requirement.  Otherwise, I would hope that the trustees…"

"Just curious. If the work can be done in 35 hours why is he being paid currently for 40 hours? While he seems like an honorable guy, he didn’t come to the board meeting saying “I would like to reduce my hours and salary because they…"

"I see your points and I am assuming, of course, that the 'opportunity' has no additional conflict of interest with the supervisor position, which may come into play if the 'opportunity' is in local realty.   The problem…"

"I agree Kelly Smith has been a good fit for PM Township. The question I have is what is this new lunchtime “opportunity?” From what I understand he is still a realtor in town. Does anyone else in town have the privilege of having 3 jobs…"

Ludington Leadership Lapses as of Late Summer 2024

Rather than give a complete recap of the August 26th meeting that we didn't attend but caught on video, let's have a look at the bigger picture of the existing leadership crisis that several items on that agenda (and its …See More

AnxiousGuy replied to XLFD's discussion Sheriff Cole's Escape Hatch
"I think sheriff Cole could use his national platform to talk about real issues in our area. I read a statistic that said 1 in every 4 kids aged 15 in Mason county have tried Meth. That happened on his watch, not Elizabeth Slokin. Probably better to…"

    Migration Update

    The elves of the Ludington Torch were hopeful that we could move from our current Ning 2.0 network to the Ning 3.0 network shortly after our five year anniversary, but we have got news from them back that they are not currently doing any new migrations to the higher platform at this time.  We surmise that there has been problems with the migrations of other Ning sites, because some things do not transfer very well or at all, including videos and group modules. 

    As they continue to…

    Spammertizing

    Over the last couple of months our members have swelled due to an advertising push by those who join, post an ad, provide a link, and possibly send messages to other members advocating some product or action.  While these are basically harmless if you ignore them, the Torch tech wizards cannot fully protect against the intruders.  I have eradicated about two dozen of these infidels, and will make it a practice to do so in the future.

    Downloading Videos

    Want to download videos for a thread or just to add to our Videos library, but are having a hard time figuring it out?  It's not hard once you know how to do it.  First you will need the Video's "Embed" code; on a typical video site like Youtube they will have a "share" button you need to click, you will then see an "Embed" button you need to click.  You will see the code all in blue, you need to "copy" (as in copy and paste) this code by going to your copy command.

    Now go to the…
