Two Consecutive Days the City of Ludington Allowed for Direct Democracy

One could say that the city councilors of the City of Ludington (COL) rose to the height of tyrannical imperialism on September 28, 2026 when they ignored the collective will of the several hundred citizens who objected either by writing or in-person before and at their meeting and voted to create special assessment districts (SADs), a majority of that body making it clear that they were willing to complete the process that would raise about 2/3 of a million dollars in new tax revenue for the…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?
