The Destroyer of Incriminating Public Records

What would you say if the Ludington Police Department (LPD) Chief Christopher Jones destroyed a public record indicating corrupt police actions after a public record's request was made for it and an extraordinary fee to produce it was asked for?   What would you say if that fee was approved by the Ludington City Council 10 days after the record was destroyed and that sum was accepted as payment by the city treasurer 24 days after the public record no longer existed?  And what would you say…See More

"The answer is yes, John Shay stated this to me personally when pressed about dated infrastructure years ago. My concern (2015) was running into dated water and sewer with new construction. Shay stated that the money collected was reallocated and…"

Scottville City Commission Enters Closed Session Illegally, Violating Open Meetings Act

On March 9th, 2026, a group of four Scottville City Commissioners took a vote that should never have happened.  A very experienced city manager was present, a city attorney from a respected law firm was present, and the aforementioned commissioners-- what was missing was three of their fellow commissioners.  The …See More

2026 School Board Transitions to Ludington Opaques

Ludington's school mascot has been the 'oriole' for at least 90 years, most of us living in or near Ludington grew up hearing their sports teams called simply the Ludington O's as a substitution for the full name, a practice the school actively approves of.  Symbolically, their administrators…See More

The March 9th meeting of the Ludington City Council was the first in a long time to not have some kind of controversy emerge during the public comment period, but this seems less to do with what was…Continue

    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.
