One week ago, we visited Rotary (City) Park when a demonstration/protest took place titled "No Kings 3" took place, we related our experience in an article, No Kings, at the local level.  It wasn't until this week that this reporter started to understand some of the perceived ambiguity of the assemblage that took place then. The uncertainty of the messaging…See More

No Kings, at the Local Level

The "No Kings" protest came to Ludington yesterday, March 28, 2026, between the hours of 1 and 3 PM.  While similar organized protests happen each Wednesday for an hour at the courthouse, and somewhat regularly throughout the last year coinciding with the ascension of the second Trump Administration, this is only the third to claim the "No Kings" mantle.  While this article won't generally explore the causes or methodology of this protest phenomenon, we will take a look at why this particular…See More

The Destroyer of Incriminating Public Records

What would you say if the Ludington Police Department (LPD) Chief Christopher Jones destroyed a public record indicating corrupt police actions after a public record's request was made for it and an extraordinary fee to produce it was asked for?   What would you say if that fee was approved by the Ludington City Council 10 days after the record was destroyed and that sum was accepted as payment by the city treasurer 24 days after the public record no longer existed?  And what would you say…See More

New to this site.  You are well informed and write superbly.  Is this your site/'invention''?

I am in Ludington every couple of weeks.  Likely to continue into 2026.  Also grew up in Ludington.

Best/only strong resource to get better in touch with Ludington.  Thank you!

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.

Sure hope to hear these names! Bullies need exposed!

I’m not sure how to message you, other than this way...sorry not good with computers. I have no evidence or proof. I’m sorry I wish I knew how to verify the claims all I can tell you is the names of the officers I heard about

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?
