Freedom Seeker replied to XLFD's discussion Ludington City Council Meeting, December 10, 2018: Between Hey and Grass"Thanks for the recap, X, with veracity as ever! I'm glad our newly elected Fifth Ward council saw through the lack of openness is planning the marijuana opt out ordinance."
XLFD posted a discussionLudington City Council Meeting, December 10, 2018: Between Hey and Grass
The city council chambers of Ludington usually don't see a lot of people in the audience for a December meeting, but it was filling rather quickly this night for some reason that wasn't immediately clear. The 2019 city budget was scheduled to be passed, but such meetings usually are avoided, even when there's plenty of salaries scheduled to jump. Only a couple of things were scheduled to be passed regarding cemetery rates, modestly going up. Not a crowd-drawer. Everything else was normal…See More
XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion Decision on LASD Future Construction Coming Up"It's been a while since I've seen any sort of local organic movement come out and strongly oppose a millage being raised. You can believe there will be construction companies and arms of the LASD 'educating' the public on…"
XLFD posted a status"Tonight's city council mtg was mostly on the 'high grass' ordinance opting out of rec marihuana. The budget ignored by all but me."
AQUAMAN replied to XLFD's discussion Decision on LASD Future Construction Coming Up"Well said snide, it's a total crock from start to finish the way things are going now."
snide replied to XLFD's discussion Decision on LASD Future Construction Coming Up"This whole proposal is a crock... It is TOTALLY unneeded as our elementary enrollment is at it's lowest point since the mid 1960s. I also found it extremely cowardly in how a vote was rushed into a lame duck type session with two of the…"
XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion An Account of the Ludington Recount"Alas, Jac did not qualify as a write-in candidate as he didn't submit the paperwork necessary. Mr. Russell has a history of selling phone services, houses, and other stuff, so maybe this lone write-in vote will get him interested enough…"
XLFD replied to Brian's discussion Aaron Sailor Leaving LPD"That's a good question and one that has come up over the last ten years in Ludington a couple of times. Numerous case law opinions and state statute (not to mention local charter) seem to indicate that it is optional for the city…"
stump replied to Brian's discussion Aaron Sailor Leaving LPD"If a person employed by the city quits , resigns , retires and a law suit comes up naming this individual in it. Who pays the attorney fees of that person?"
Brian replied to Brian's discussion Aaron Sailor Leaving LPD"Interesting Thanks for the information. You know who you are. So the Prosecutor retained a individuals phone that made a previous allegation. Supposedly they didn't find anything on phone, gave copy of disc to defense. To there suprise there…"
Wonder Woman replied to XLFD's discussion An Account of the Ludington Recount"NEWS ALERT: Realtor Jac Russell has requested a new recount and learning of his write-in votes! LOL."
Willy replied to XLFD's discussion MSU Student Government Gives Minors, Aliens the Right to Vote"I've always contended that out of town students should not be allowed to vote on local issues, only State and Federal concerns. That is one of the reasons towns like E. Lansing and Lansing are becoming so left leaning. A perfect example is…"
XLFD posted a discussionMSU Student Government Gives Minors, Aliens the Right to Vote
Local governments can get a little crazy sometimes in trying to go around federal or state laws, we see that happen all the time in Ludington; but sometimes these little fiefs can go plumb loco with their own delusions of power. Like most colleges and universities, Michigan State University (MSU) has their own student government, the Associated Students of MSU or ASMSU. This local quasi-government group has some real power over the 50,000 plus students attending that university, and can…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…
