"I mildly disagree on one topic in that the fee structure of STRs is not set up to discourage STRs in the city, but to maximize the money that the City can take in without really doing anything extra other than what amounts to a rental inspection…"

"The fees are outrageous. Of course it's all set up to discourage short term rentals. To add insult to her dilemma she is paying a higher rate of property tax since she cannot claim the homestead status. Her best bet is to sell this…"
"I hope to follow up with her or her apartment manager to find out what the disposition is going to be on this. I expect they've already informed her that the fourfold costs were 'legal' and show her the never-passed fee schedule…"
"I tend to pick up on small details. One small detail I did not hear was, “my property manager is a licensed realtor”. I heard some other qualifications that should entitle a person to manage rental properties, but there are also rules…"
Fee Leap Year for Leeper
It should come as no surprise that city officials are unlawfully trying to extract more money from our property owners; these are the same people who hiked city property tax rates up in order to get $300,000 more (from the same people ravaged by a government-caused spike in inflation) in each of the last two years. They refuse to call their actions in those series of unlawful summertime votes that raise their own income well over the inflation rate 'hiking' or even 'raising' taxes, so in this…See More
"Thanks for that info and link, X. Still just amazing that the new PA seems that heavy-handed and can't realize the innocence here. So if you are falsely accused is there legal recourse?"
"Having your charges cleared and escaping punishment during an arraignment hearing is uncommon. A judge generally lacks the authority to drop criminal charges at an arraignment. Such charge changes normally would only come…"
"Thanks for the update, X. I am so confused too. It was over six months from the "trespass" to when you were served. You were never arrested. What happened to speedy trial? MCL 780.131 doesn't apply because you weren't arrested?…"
"Rom may be disappointed that I didn't get a mugshot taken or jail time yet, but this morning I went through the arraignment process for the City's/Prosecutor's invented misdemeanors. The magistrate was prepared to give me a…"
"Rom. You don't have a clue regarding this situation. You want people to think you are smart but you are just clueless. Making fun of X's name nullifies any partiality you may try to use in order to get your point across.

LASD Teachers Respond to Climate and Culture Survey: Part 2 of 3
In the first article of our review of a recent voluntary survey given to members of the Ludington Area School District (LASD) teacher's union early this year, we found out that for every satisfied teacher there were about seven dissatisfied ones among the 94 respondents (an 85% response across such teachers). We found out that one of…See More

"Tone and Maturity
The tone is excessively confrontational and juvenile, akin to a petulant child throwing a tantrum. Instead of offering constructive criticism, the author resorts to name-calling and hyperbole, referring to the mayor as “Karl…"

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…
