Invasive Parking Workshop
IntroductionBack in the summer of 2020, Harbor View Marina (HVM) was experiencing its first year as a public marina (owned by the state, leased by the City of Ludington (COL)) after two decades of being a public-private partnership. The formerly private swimming pool and Harbormaster's Clubhouse were now fully public facilities, so I, as a member of the taxpaying public in Ludington, saw no issue in…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.

- 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?
