Ludington City Council Meeting, October 14, 2024: Choosing Between Vices
The council packet for the October 14, 2024 meeting of the Ludington City Council was diverse with material, but two stood out as somewhat controversial, one dealing with smoking and one dealing with drinking. The fully present council would introduce an ordinance that would ban smoking…See More
"RK, you may not have heard that Secretary Benson has lost 9 court challenges to her handling of the 2020 (and even 2022) elections many involving the lack of verification procedures and her willingness to not secure the election process. I…"
"..."any ballot, fraudulent or not, would be counted and made it so that there be no verification procedures or other ways to ensure the integrity of elections." This statement is wrong. All ballots will be verified and no unverified…"
"Anybody paying attention knows that since at least 2020 Secretary Jocelyn Benson, buoyed by other Democrats in charge and the indifference of a lot of RINOs in the state legislature, adjusted the rules so that any ballot, fraudulent or not, would be…"
"Thanks X for this well researched topic and the information in contains. I would like to recommend one thing and that is unless it is absolutely necessary do not use mail in ballots or drop boxes. I know several people whose ballots were not…"
Ludington Area Voter's Guide, November 2024 General Election, Early Edition
With early voting and the mailing of ballots already underway in our area it is prudent to offer our version of an election guide. If you have received a ballot in the mail, as many have, consider voting early as you never know what may come up on Election Day, but we urge you to wait until you've done enough research on candidates (no issues on local ballots) and wait until after the local …See More
"I mildly disagree on one topic in that the fee structure of STRs is not set up to discourage STRs in the city, but to maximize the money that the City can take in without really doing anything extra other than what amounts to a rental inspection…"
"The fees are outrageous. Of course it's all set up to discourage short term rentals. To add insult to her dilemma she is paying a higher rate of property tax since she cannot claim the homestead status. Her best bet is to sell this…"
"I hope to follow up with her or her apartment manager to find out what the disposition is going to be on this. I expect they've already informed her that the fourfold costs were 'legal' and show her the never-passed fee schedule…"
"I tend to pick up on small details. One small detail I did not hear was, “my property manager is a licensed realtor”. I heard some other qualifications that should entitle a person to manage rental properties, but there are also rules…"
Fee Leap Year for Leeper
It should come as no surprise that city officials are unlawfully trying to extract more money from our property owners; these are the same people who hiked city property tax rates up in order to get $300,000 more (from the same people ravaged by a government-caused spike in inflation) in each of the last two years. They refuse to call their actions in those series of unlawful summertime votes that raise their own income well over the inflation rate 'hiking' or even 'raising' taxes, so in this…See More

Migration Update
The elves of the Ludington Torch were hopeful that we could move from our current Ning 2.0 network to the Ning 3.0 network shortly after our five year anniversary, but we have got news from them back that they are not currently doing any new migrations to the higher platform at this time. We surmise that there has been problems with the migrations of other Ning sites, because some things do not transfer very well or at all, including videos and group modules.
As they continue to…

Spammertizing
Over the last couple of months our members have swelled due to an advertising push by those who join, post an ad, provide a link, and possibly send messages to other members advocating some product or action. While these are basically harmless if you ignore them, the Torch tech wizards cannot fully protect against the intruders. I have eradicated about two dozen of these infidels, and will make it a practice to do so in the future.

Downloading Videos
Want to download videos for a thread or just to add to our Videos library, but are having a hard time figuring it out? It's not hard once you know how to do it. First you will need the Video's "Embed" code; on a typical video site like Youtube they will have a "share" button you need to click, you will then see an "Embed" button you need to click. You will see the code all in blue, you need to "copy" (as in copy and paste) this code by going to your copy command.
Now go to the…
