<p>Willy, you may have unknowingly tapped into the reason why the COLDnews has taken a significant interest in this 'Big Noise out of Scottville"-- the one that isn't originating from its clown band. Not only is there the normal conflict arising between two competitive media operating in the same market (even when the majority of both of their output is propaganda), but also there is the friction remaining from the COLDNews firing of Alway to bring in the New Year in 2011. The COLDNews even…</p>
<p>Willy, you may have unknowingly tapped into the reason why the COLDnews has taken a significant interest in this 'Big Noise out of Scottville"-- the one that isn't originating from its clown band. Not only is there the normal conflict arising between two competitive media operating in the same market (even when the majority of both of their output is propaganda), but also there is the friction remaining from the COLDNews firing of Alway to bring in the New Year in 2011. The COLDNews even surprised me with their brilliant second FOIA request (more on this later).</p>
<p>Thanks heartily for the endorsement of this venue as your source for the local truth, that's our goal. </p> It appears that the non trans…tag:ludingtoncitizen.ning.com,2021-01-19:4689834:Comment:13101132021-01-19T17:30:50.580ZWillyhttp://ludingtoncitizen.ning.com/profile/willy
<p>It appears that the non transparency virus that has plagued Ludington for years has now infected Scottville.What amazes me is that suddenly the LDN is concerned with bad actors in Government. They couldn't care less about Ludington but they will do their best to squirrel around Scottvilles dirty laundry. I still wouldn't believe a word the LDN may print about the Scottville situation because they have mislead about, lied about and withheld information from the public for years. As far as I…</p>
<p>It appears that the non transparency virus that has plagued Ludington for years has now infected Scottville.What amazes me is that suddenly the LDN is concerned with bad actors in Government.

I still wouldn't believe a word the LDN may print about the Scottville situation because they have mislead about, lied about and withheld information from the public for years. As far as I am concerned all of the integrity in local news can be found on the Ludington Torch which has been investigated and truthfully revealed by XLFD.</p>
<p>In the middle of all this is, of course, Mr. Alway, the local journalist/politician who used his news agency to smear Scottville's City Manager before any real facts were revealed. I repeat myself, Mr. Alway, your either a journalist or a Government official. You can't be both and be relied upon to be unbiased and impartial. Anything you print is suspect and should be regarded with suspicion.</p> Unbelievable!tag:ludingtoncitizen.ning.com,2021-01-19:4689834:Comment:13098202021-01-19T01:27:48.874ZFreedom Seekerhttp://ludingtoncitizen.ning.com/profile/FreedomSeeker

<p>Post-meeting update: the City of Scottville held their unlawfully noticed special meeting at 5:30 and went into closed session under section 8h to consider a memo drafted by the city attorney. It was explained that CM Magaluk had offered her resignation. They were not very clear on the terms of her resignation or the underlying issue that led to it. They did not even let the public know who all was invited into the closed session. I asked them point blank in public comment and was…</p>
<p>Post-meeting update: the City of Scottville held their unlawfully noticed special meeting at 5:30 and went into closed session under section 8h to consider a memo drafted by the city attorney. It was explained that CM Magaluk had offered her resignation. They were not very clear on the terms of her resignation or the underlying issue that led to it. They did not even let the public know who all was invited into the closed session. I asked them point blank in public comment and was ignored. They won't disclose the investigation report or the response to that report claiming bogus exemptions, they won't tell you who played a part in the secret session made illegal due to the fact it was done at an improperly noticed meeting. This isn't how a small town government is supposed to work.</p>
