<p>These are the same people coming to help Flint. Maybe with the PM Bayou and the disgust of the west end project we can get them to help us also. People need to speak up and respond to these and in numbers! Share, share, share!</p>

<p>Seeing the article in the LDN about Clara Peterson turning 104 made me think of another man that worked hard to help Ludington, Carl Peterson. He and his wife Ruthie owned a tv repair shop on first st, yep that's right in the 4th ward and it was a very successful shop where he also sold Zenith televisions.</p>
<p>His spouse. Ruthie, maiden name Towns, was (and still is alive and kicking and spunky as ever) the sister of Mary Jane and George L. All part of a group who found a beautiful area…</p>

<p>His spouse. Ruthie, maiden name Towns, was (and still is alive and kicking and spunky as ever) the sister of Mary Jane and George L. All part of a group who found a beautiful area in Michigan that they loved and found a way to make a living and build a life, with hopes of passing it on for generations! This is the true history of this city, they need to be remembered and respected as well.</p>
<p>They did a great job, but the leaders that came after like Shay and the current council don't have a clue who these people are. If you want a true historical landmark then you need to include Tamarac Village, Carl's TV repair, and Tamarac Sportfishing Dock, where "fishing is fun in Ludington".</p>
<p>The people that truly helped build this city are the 5 marinas that I spoke of, then the COL built their marinas where the only intention was to try to crush us. This has been fought since Mary Jane owned but the city/state /dnr has fought and has won due to deep pockets. Sad but so far its working..........</p>
<p>If they would not of did what they did back then would fishing had been what it was? Would there be salmon in Ludington?

<p>Very shocking! One of the bigger news stations (WDIV local 4 Detroit) in Detroit has dedicated the last hour, during prime time, to address the issues in Flint. Have not yet had the chance to watch it fully but the beginning sounds EXACTLY like the way that the COL council, now the MDEQ and through state services adds the state of Mi as people that have tried to sweep me under the carpet.</p>

<p>Very shocking! One of the bigger news stations (WDIV local 4 Detroit) in Detroit has dedicated the last hour, during prime time, to address the issues in Flint. Have not yet had the chance to watch it fully but the beginning sounds EXACTLY like the way that the COL council, now the MDEQ and through state services adds the state of Mi as people that have tried to sweep me under the carpet.</p>
<p>The issues in the pm bayou may or may not have much to do with the lead crisis, but who would know? No one is trying to look into the matter, city, state, or feds. Even though the state and feds had money on the table to clean it up Ludington spent it elsewhere. The city should be first and foremost about cleaning up the mess that they made and making sure that the waste water they discharge is acceptable, the creamy corners drain maintained and responsibility forced on all east of the drain to discharge properly. Not worry about Buffy and Skippy that come to vaca in the summer. They need to take care of all of us Joe six packs that bust ass for the greater good of our community through hard work and tax dollars!</p>
<p>Who do the councilors represent? Why is it not the residents and infrastructure that they stand for?</p>

<p>No waste water permit, no clean up from 2008, no clean up from 2012, people getting sick and going out of business, kids testing high for lead, but no money. Unless it is for their 2 city owned marinas or a water tower. Seems this should be a class action lawsuit against the city, county and state, all are at fault here.

<p>Instead of the City investing more money into the other 2 marinas why don't they take that money and open a "bayou bottom mud spa". They could draw tourists by claiming the mud is good for them. The mud could be heated by the excessive hot air produced by the Council along all the composting BS they have spewed out over the years, then spread the mud on all of those wide eyed tourists. The tourist could purchase the "wonder mud" by the bucket full and take it home with them. Wallah, a new…</p>

<p>Thanks Willy the ones you posted are good. No I do not know how deep but I will look into it, everything helps prove the point. This is all laying out in the same way Flint did with the denials but persistence won there and should win here also!</p>
