Our School Board is the Cruelest Court

In a grand jury hearing, the prosecution presents evidence in a relaxed setting to a grand jury, who decide whether there is enough evidence to charge (indict) someone with a crime. Since, traditionally, the defense doesn’t get any say, indictments usually are granted if the prosecutor markets it well.  You may have heard the famous statement by NY Judge Sol Wachtler that a grand jury would "indict a ham sandwich", if that's what a prosecutor wanted.While it wasn't a grand jury hearing, a…See More

Time to Step Up for Scottville

By this time, citizens of Scottville are getting numbed by the instability at city hall, with their city officials playing musical chairs over the last few years and may expect the worst now that the dust has cleared, a budget shortfall of about half a million has appeared and the former mayor and mayor pro tem has quietly galloped away into the sunset.  At the November 11, 2024…See More

Willy replied to XLFD's discussion Ludington City Council Meeting, November 11, 2024: Where There's Smoke...
"Nope. No doctoring. The only way I can explain the difference is that the wind was out of the SW so the smoke to the right was actually much closer than the smoke to the left. The picture below has the same variations in darkness. It might be the…"

Ludington City Council Meeting, November 11, 2024: Where There's Smoke...

A look at the agenda packet of the 11-11-2024 Ludington city council meeting shows no true action items, but then one looks at the video of the meeting and sees it lasted over 72 minutes, indicating that citizens may have co-opted the agenda, and they did.  Of note, it was the first meeting where the new Ludington City Manager Kaitlyn Aldrich took her seat.Other than a proclamation recognizing poll workers near the meeting's end, they would have another…See More

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.

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?
