"I'm quite surprised the LDN has much reliable and efficient staff left there nowadays. The way the locals are profiled, COL leaders praised and adored, tourist related projects promoted, while infrastructure crumbles, and the way employees are…"

Only 'modern corporate journalists' would stage a 'mass editorial protest' to defend the 'fake news' they propagate. …Continue

The August 13, 2018 Ludington City Council meeting had a light agenda considering the council hadn't met for 3 weeks. Nevertheless, it was attended by the cream of Ludington's plutocrats including…Continue

Why are those who work at the COLDNews always the last to get the…"

Living near a big mall where its staple store that helped build it slowly close is hard to watch. All I can say is at least the workers had some notice at my local Sears. Not giving any is…"

Wonder Woman replied to XLFD's discussion COLDNews Grows Colder: Dumps Delivery Drivers Without Notice"Just a start of what's to come. The print newspaper business is a dinosaur. Home delivery of a printed publication will soon become a thing of the past. This has been seen already in many communities. Eventually, the Ludington Daily News…"
Wonder Woman replied to XLFD's discussion Begnoche is French for 'Fake News'"Not too surprising as Begnoche has always been liberal. In fact, I believe his daughter worked for Governor Granholm."
XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion COLDNews Grows Colder: Dumps Delivery Drivers Without Notice"Print journalism has a very difficult time in this day and age, and I would hope that the COLDNews could undergo a transformation back to relevancy by being able to be more than just a bulletin board and propaganda tool for our officials, their…"
stump replied to XLFD's discussion COLDNews Grows Colder: Dumps Delivery Drivers Without Notice"I don't believe getting the news paper delivered by the postal service is a new thing. Back when I was a kid 60 years ago , my parents got the paper delivered by the mail man. Always a day late. I thought then it was dumb. "
jfc123 replied to XLFD's discussion COLDNews Grows Colder: Dumps Delivery Drivers Without Notice"Maybe if they actually had a backbone and reported the TRUE news this would not be happening! NEVER challenge anything the city does. They just need to close, a waste of everyone's time! Bunch of silly cronies that harm concerned and support…"
XLFD posted a discussionCOLDNews Grows Colder: Dumps Delivery Drivers Without Notice
Yesterday afternoon, Laura McClellan brought a bit of news to the public's attention in a social media post on Facebook, that has yet to be unrefuted by the local newspaper, known affectionately/disgustedly here as the City of Ludington Daily News (COLDNews). In an emotional post she stated:She added some details: Drivers, carriers, and those who knew both commented on her post or elsewhere talking about how the COLDNews handled this conversion to USPS by axing their employees without telling…See More
XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion Begnoche is French for 'Fake News'"The COLDNews seems to be living up to their name. Giving their loyal carriers the news that they are immediately fired this weekend. That move blindsided a bunch of employees who now find themselves without a job, many who probably have…"
Willy replied to XLFD's discussion Begnoche is French for 'Fake News'"I think the LDN is having financial problems. It seems to me that the most reliable way to deliver the paper is from a daily route. The post office is less reliable especially when it comes to the delivery of bulk mail."
AQUAMAN replied to XLFD's discussion Begnoche is French for 'Fake News'"Another thank you Dave, I see the same thing now on FB, and it's sickening to believe all those contracted carriers can be fired on a non-working work day of Saturday. Sorry for the workers and families affected in a negative financial…"
Dave replied to XLFD's discussion Begnoche is French for 'Fake News'"In other news, I read that COLDnews fired all of their delivery drivers in favor of having the papers delivered via the post office.... one less reason to bother reading the paper."
AQUAMAN replied to XLFD's discussion Begnoche is French for 'Fake News'"Very well said Dave, just report the facts of what is going on, without prejudice and leanings, that's true journalism, which most today have no idea of how to go about that."

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?

- 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.

Perhaps time to “treat” them to a recall election. Oops, no ---------- way past time.
