"They chose O'Neil Newkirk tonight in a unanimous vote. I am not taking credit for anything, because he may have been the best candidate in their eyes after the interviews, but I used some Machiavellian tactics to get Newkirk to the top as…"

"Knowing the makeup of the Commission and the City officials I wouldn't touch that job for all the tea in China. Live and learn potential candidates."
"There's blame enough to go around from the driver not paying attention to the woman walking in a dangerous situation to the City's lack of sidewalks."
"So is this like five days later, the courageous change of heart to meet with people, who look at microinveterbraes, but not her constituents? Or maybe it is because she considers Tom Rotta, a big worm with a spine, standing before city council that…"
"Today's entry. At the Ludington City Council meeting held one week ago, City Councilor Kathy Winczewski led the charge towards making the next meeting virtual. "We're at the height of the pandemic, that we've…"
Local State of Hypocrisy
On March 10, 2020, Governor Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency in Michigan. While the policy's strictness has waxed and waned over the last thirteen months due mainly to the state legislature's attempt to usurp the governor's authoritarian dictates, the governor's policies mostly live on through the state's health & human services department. Over that thirteen month period, public bodies throughout Michigan have been strongly encouraged to hold virtual, electronic public…See More
"It doesn't seem right, the lesser charge under MCL 257.601 (misdemeanor for causing bodily injury but not fleeing scene) and MCL 257.617 (felony for causing bodily injury and fleeing the scene), but maybe Ansaro sat in the MCC school parking…"
"There's quite a bit of difference. The charge pursued is a misdemeanor that could result in up to 93 days. Hit & Run causing serious impairment is a felony that can get you 5 years and $5000 fines. The unbelievable and…"

This was a special meeting of that body for that sole purpose, where once again they approved an agenda without an initial public comment period, as required by Scottville's City Charter section…See More
" So one has to wonder if " COMMITTING A MOVING VIOLATION " causing injury is a lesser crime than HIT and RUN ? He knew what he was did or why did he take the back roads towards Ludington? Still something fishy about his…"
"A sincere "wow" X, thank you for keeping on top of this. Many prayers for Maria Ray's complete healing and hoping the prosecution is just, for one who left the scene of an accident. Thanks again to the brave high school…"
"I received a FOIA response from the county prosecutor this afternoon. Andrew Asaro will face the justice system, albeit not as somebody who hit an elderly pedestrian and ran, but as somebody who committed a moving violation and caused a…"

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…
