Laws & Jaws: Pig Bites Shark

If you thought your December has started badly, consider this fish story.One of Ludington's finest was cruising north in his normal patrol on Washington Avenue near Danaher Street around 2 AM this morning when he saw something fishy along the side of the street.  Very fishy, a shark to be exact.  But Washington Avenue is quite a ways away from the nearest body of salt water, and they don't generally do a lot of walking on land, so he quickly figured out that it was someone in a shark costume. …See More

Scottville City Commission, November 27, 2023: The Leased Qualified

Even in the inclement weather conditions, there were basically three major reasons why I chose to go to an away game at Scottville City Hall for their commission meeting rather than go to Ludington's city council meeting being held at the same time just a couple blocks away from my domicile. First, it would be the premiere of 'new' commissioner, Eric Thue, or one could…See More

Scottville's Free Elections

On November 7, the Mason County Central (MCC) school district held its third election with a $30 million bond proposal on the line, this would be the first time it was split into two fairly-equal-in-cost proposals.  The first was mainly concerned with security issues and upgrades at the high school, the second was for auditorium upgrades.  Both failed, just like the first two.  …See More

LASD Board Meeting, November 20, 2023: The Banished and the Bullied

The agenda packet for the November 20, 2023 meeting of the Ludington Area School District (LASD) Board only had two actions by the board to take place, both mostly ceremonial and non-controversial in nature, so it was an opportune time to bring forth an issue that should be very controversial and addressed by the board using their established rules.  …See More

Mr. Bleau, Bye

As we begin the week of Thanksgiving, where we celebrate the blessings of the year while watching the Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers and enjoying the bounty of the harvest on our dinner tables, folks in Pere Marquette Township have a little bit extra to be thankful for this year.  A lot of instability and strife had beset the township over the…See More

Ludington City Council Meeting, November 13, 2023: Automatic PILOTs Flying Too Low

Just before the November 13, 2023 meeting of the Ludington City Council meeting they had a reception for outgoing Third Ward Councilor Les Johnson.  From past experience, these receptions were always paid for by the taxpayers without their consent rather than by voluntary donations by his co-workers or sponsors, so I avoided it so as not to be a part of the corruption our city is infected with. This may have negatively affected my effort to become the next Third Ward councilor, which would be…See More

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?

Idk how to use this site sorry but hopefully you could help or point me the right way

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.
