Ludington City Council Meeting, June 23, 2025: Ten Reasons Why You Should Hate City Hall (in one meeting)

The agenda packet of the Ludington City Council's last regular meeting before Independence Day on June 23, 2025, didn't give much hint of how repressive our local government has been over the last three years, but fortunately the council's actions, words, and the voice of the citizens…See More

Bizarre Bill That Would Expand Government Secrecy Passes Michigan Senate

Michigan State Senator Veronica Klinefelt (pictured below) has had to deal intimately with the Open Meetings Act (OMA) during a career which goes back to her stints as city councilor and county commissioner in Macomb County.  The OMA requires meetings of public bodies like those to be open to the public; to require notice, the keeping of minutes of meetings, and allow for comments from the general public.  As a Michigan senator, she wanted to "improve" on the OMA as early as 2023.…See More

Puritan Witch Hunts of Mason County: McLain and Lucht

In American tradition, the most serious crimes one could assign against individuals had obvious victims targeted by the criminals.  Admittedly, in our distant pre-revolutionary past we had our variations from such a principal, the Salem witch trials come to mind, where innocent women suffered at the hands of an unjust legal process.  The concept of a witch hunt lives on to this day to describe situations where some people are unfairly arrested, arraigned and adjudged in the name of justice. …See More

Why Isn't There a Debate Over Using Police Officers in Our Schools?

Few things are met with more disdain by the Ludington Torch than public policy being decided unilaterally by public agencies without asking for input from the public.  Yet this is what has occurred in Mason County in regard to meaningful debate about a policy decision that may affect the future of school-age children in your family.  This seems to have been happening here since 2014, when the Mason County Safety Planning Committee (MCSPC) was …See More

X, I am unable to edit my comments and cannot attach a photo or video to my comments. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's has something to do with the forum. Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem.

Louise, in the upper right corner of the main page you will see your name and an "inbox (1 new)" link under it.  Click on that and you'll see a message from me.  Click on that, and then reply in that same space.  This will be private messaging between you and me.  I will use my resources to try and verify your claims; our sheriff's office is remarkably cloaked in secrecy (more so than the COL) since KIm Cole assumed the position of sheriff.

Sure hope to hear these names! Bullies need exposed!

I’m not sure how to message you, other than this way...sorry not good with computers. I have no evidence or proof. I’m sorry I wish I knew how to verify the claims all I can tell you is the names of the officers I heard about

Ive heard that a local corrections officer got fired for sleeping with an inmate while on duty and another got fired for falsifying his time card, also A deputy Sargent recently got demoted. What is going on at our local sheriffs office and why is none of this being reported?

I'm curious about something and have not been able to find an answer. I'm hoping you may know the answer. Is it 'usual practice' to use a person's full name in the body of an op-ed?
