If there's something we can all agree on, it's that we don't want to see a lot of drivers out on the road driving while impaired and endangering everyone, including themselves. Yet there is another,…Continue

Let's Not Keep PACE
The City of Ludington plunged themselves into the expensive proposition of leasing their vehicle fleet in February, then last month they introduced us to the next new shiny concept of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE), a California innovation designed to transition over to a greener earth, and indicated that they may want to adopt PACE after a public hearing scheduled for the 6PM meeting on Monday, April 13th.Some potential resistance was shown at the …See More

Privileged Ludington Officials Conspiring Secretly Over Destroyed Records
Our loyal readers should know by now that the City of Ludington (COL) received a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request from this reporter for police body cam footage of an accident where the LPD responding officer allegedly let a drunk friend off of any charges. The response set a high ransom on the records which was appealed to the city council, which upheld the price absent any compelling argument. The ransom was paid, and it was said that the records would be ready in about two…See More
False Positives, False Guilt: What Every Citizen Should Know About Colorimetric Drug Tests
If there's something we can all agree on, it's that we don't want to see a lot of drivers out on the road driving while impaired and endangering everyone, including themselves. Yet there is another, almost universal agreement over the concept that we don't want people arrested for the offense of drug possession just because a cheap field test gave a false positive and put an otherwise innocent person through a mostly unforgiving justice system. This topic is particularly relevant to 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?
- At 12:55am on November 18, 2017,
- 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?
