"The appearance of these signs a week or two before Ludington's major fishing tournament of the summer, the city manager's admission that they were meant to be temporary, has me thinking that there was more than coincidence here between the…"

"This particular problem seems to have migrated south, along the michigan shoreline, to whitefish bay, just as the hummingbirds do towards winter. Only problem is.. its not fall, its the height of the tourist fishing tournament season."
Scottville Area Pride 2025
On a weekend in Ludington celebrating pride, let's take a few minutes to look at civic pride for the two cities in Mason County. While one may not condone the celebration of taking pride in one's lifestyle choice, one cannot deny that the Ludington event ended at 5 PM in Rotary Park and a couple of hours later, Rotary Park was pristine, looking as well-tended as it normally was. Stearn's Park, while still…See More
"Depending on the results of my FOIA request, we may also find out that the unauthorized signs were justified using some unnamed youths as scapegoats-- convenient fall guys whose names they will likely and unlawfully cover-up on the FOIA response I…"
"Tom’s RAP complaint and DNR’s response confirm a troubling pattern:
Public fishing rights on state-leased, federally funded waterfronts are being taken away—not through public ordinance or emergency action, but by informal signs,…"
DNR and City Manager Weigh in on Illegal Fishing Ban at City Marina
On July 16th, I sent a complaint to the Report All Poaching (RAP) website concerning a recent policy move by the management at the Ludington Municipal Marina (LMM). The RAP site is not only used for reporting illegal hunting when you see it happen, but also for reporting any sort of DNR enforced violation that you witness. The problem summarized was that the marina manager had erected multiple "No Fishing" signs around the perimeter of the LMM (and even at the Harbor View Marina (HVM), leased…See More

This was the teacher's union message to the board, and sure enough, at the bottom of the nine action items in the agenda packet was a scheduled closed…See More
Choosing Sides and Sidewalks with Ludington Elementary
Back in the 'unique' summer of 2020 when, fresh from four months of empty school buildings due to COVID hysterics and the very real prospect of virtual learning looming for the upcoming school year, the Ludington Area School District (LASD) was set to choose which companies we would pay to construct a new $40+ million elementary school out in what used to be the school forest. LASD was admirably transparent about these contracts, and in our …See More
Ludington City Council Meeting, July 14, 2025: Chris Cross, Hit the Sauce
The agenda packet for the July 14th, 2025 meeting of the Ludington City Council showed the first readings of nine separate ordinances and not a lot of other business in front of the body. Six of those would deal with tax levy and appropriation ordinances for a budget that has yet to be…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.

- 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?
