The city council chambers of Ludington usually don't see a lot of people in the audience for a December meeting, but it was filling rather quickly this night for some reason that wasn't immediately clear. The 2019 city budget was scheduled to be passed, but such meetings usually are avoided, even when there's plenty of salaries scheduled to jump. Only a couple of things were scheduled to be passed regarding cemetery rates, modestly going up. Not a crowd-drawer. Everything else was normal…See More
XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion Decision on LASD Future Construction Coming Up"It's been a while since I've seen any sort of local organic movement come out and strongly oppose a millage being raised. You can believe there will be construction companies and arms of the LASD 'educating' the public on…"
XLFD posted a status"Tonight's city council mtg was mostly on the 'high grass' ordinance opting out of rec marihuana. The budget ignored by all but me."
AQUAMAN replied to XLFD's discussion Decision on LASD Future Construction Coming Up"Well said snide, it's a total crock from start to finish the way things are going now."
snide replied to XLFD's discussion Decision on LASD Future Construction Coming Up"This whole proposal is a crock... It is TOTALLY unneeded as our elementary enrollment is at it's lowest point since the mid 1960s. I also found it extremely cowardly in how a vote was rushed into a lame duck type session with two of the…"
XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion An Account of the Ludington Recount"Alas, Jac did not qualify as a write-in candidate as he didn't submit the paperwork necessary. Mr. Russell has a history of selling phone services, houses, and other stuff, so maybe this lone write-in vote will get him interested enough…"
XLFD replied to Brian's discussion Aaron Sailor Leaving LPD"That's a good question and one that has come up over the last ten years in Ludington a couple of times. Numerous case law opinions and state statute (not to mention local charter) seem to indicate that it is optional for the city…"
Wonder Woman replied to XLFD's discussion An Account of the Ludington Recount"NEWS ALERT: Realtor Jac Russell has requested a new recount and learning of his write-in votes! LOL."
Willy replied to XLFD's discussion MSU Student Government Gives Minors, Aliens the Right to Vote"I've always contended that out of town students should not be allowed to vote on local issues, only State and Federal concerns. That is one of the reasons towns like E. Lansing and Lansing are becoming so left leaning. A perfect example is…"
XLFD posted a discussionMSU Student Government Gives Minors, Aliens the Right to Vote
Local governments can get a little crazy sometimes in trying to go around federal or state laws, we see that happen all the time in Ludington; but sometimes these little fiefs can go plumb loco with their own delusions of power. Like most colleges and universities, Michigan State University (MSU) has their own student government, the Associated Students of MSU or ASMSU. This local quasi-government group has some real power over the 50,000 plus students attending that university, and can…See More

XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion An Account of the Ludington Recount"Status-seekers and team-players always seem to wind up being on the council, to the detriment of the people of Ludington. Wally Cain sold himself at his interview in front of the city council as somebody who would always take the City's…"
XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion An Account of the Ludington Recount"I have said elsewhere that Wallace Cain was gracious in defeat after the recount, but not so gracious in defeat after the November 6th election. The reason I say that is he requested a recount without explaining why, as he is required by law…"

XLFD said… 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.

- 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?

Willy said… - What I don't understand about the shop with a cop program is where you come up with the $900 plus amount that is not accounted for. Also why is the same $250 card number on two separate receipts? I'm not very good with math and bookkeeping so I'm curious.
