"The boat trailer parking is indeed a eye sore for the area residence. You can tell by the why the committee talks they have no idea how much construction cost. Fencing , leveling and paving ? How many years of payback would they expect to recoup the…"
Firewatergate: LPD's Ongoing Scandals and Cover-ups Showing Selective Enforcement
The May 4th meeting of the Ludington City Council expanded the two-year-old Firewater-gate scandal to new proportions and made the council's complicity in the cover-up clearer than ever. If it wasn't already made clear by their continued silence in regard to the second part of the scandal. Let's clarify what the Firewater-gate scandal is and why it is a two-part scandal and two separate cover-ups all in one.…See More
"Sorry for just noticing this, Claire. If you look at the redline ordinance amendment found in the packet, you should notice that there is nothing being changed in the prior ordinance about 'feeding' actions you mentioned. To…"
"Hi Tom,
I am angry about this amendment that I assume they will pass tonight. I purchased 9 foot poles which makes bird feeding difficult but keeps the feeders the required 5 feet off the ground, Now this new amendment says…"
Ludington City Council Meeting, April 27, 2026: Unexpected Agreements
There was a mildly surreal feel as the 100-minute meeting of the Ludington City Council on April 27th (agenda packet here) progressed and city officials showed themselves to be in an unexpectedly agreeable mood with citizens. The surreal part is that they wouldn't come close to admitting…See More

Ludington's Shadow Government in Action
Some may look at the title of this article and wonder if the shadow government to be discussed is the various individuals and business entities in the private sector who have an inordinate pull over local governments and enjoy immunities therefrom. While these puppet masters are worth discussing, most are cautious enough to have a defense based on their own plausible deniability upon most any allegation. This article instead is looking at the usual target of those described above, a small…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.

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.

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.

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…
