Ludington City Leaders Working for You? Not Quite.

At the beginning of 2024, we lamented over many of the problems that arose in 2023 in Ludington in Same Auld Ludington Syne.  In that article, we looked primarily at many of foibles of city hall towards the end of the year; in this one, we will look at what the city did in the full year of 2024 (in two installments) to show a point that became more evident towards the end of…See More

Ludington City Council Meeting, December 23, 2024: Ignorance and Want

The last meeting of the year for the Ludington City Council was held the evening before Christmas Eve.  Yet, except for a notice on the front door indicating that city hall would not be opened on the 24th and 25th, one could not discern that Christmas was in the air.  As you will see on the video, the council chambers had no decorations for the yuletide holiday present, and even the invocation was without reference to the reason for the season.  The 70-minute meeting would focus on many of the…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?
