U.P. Breaking News Editorial: A photo smuggled from jail is probed (that’s good) but why are other serious issues being ignored at the jail like lots of man-on-man sex and legal mail not being delivered to inmates and the big improper sexual affair between county officials – Laugh at photo but do not ignore real issues

Dumb photo least of jail and Marquette County ills

U.P. Breaking News Editorial on Marquette County Jail – sexual liaisons between high ranking county officials – profiteering on public records – are among the issues unfair to the poor. The jail has its own sex and mail scandal.

Dumb jail photo 1

U.P. Breaking News believes not giving jail inmates their legal mail, profiteering on public records to the detriment of the poor, and allowing man-on-man sex (who knows about the women) in jail cells is a bigger scandal than this idiotic photo.

U.P. Breaking News was working on that notorious jail photo from Marquette County smuggled out over Thanksgiving holiday and posted on Facebook (What a dumb thing to do). But since it was passed to the other media (a good thing) – we don’t need to.
We challenge the sheriff or any county officials to say we are not reporting the facts about the stated abuses.
More than that – we publicly challenge you. They know it – and media is too chicken to ask on a microphone. The media fears the sheriffs of the U.P. because they do not want hassles getting everyday mug shots that make it seem like they are working. Without the love of the sheriffs the media would panic.
We still believe that the Marquette County Sheriff is an honorable man – who wants to make changes he demanded when running for office – but once in office the political stranglehold begins.
We believe one of the reasons Sheriff Greg Zyburt ran – is because of the awful way the former Sheriff Mike Lovelace was treating forcing him to flee town while in office to get away from the insider corruption in Marquette County. Sheriff Zyburt thought he could change the political pressures.
Corruption in Marquette County that is equal – and more profitable – to any I witnessed by southern sheriffs. But at least the feds busted those folks – up here in the pure white U.P. white collar crime is allowed and even encouraged.
In fact, new information in past year us that the court system in Marquette County is been reduced one that is only for the rich – who can afford to file any crazy motion without judges having the guts to stop this abuse.
The former county clerk was an honorable man – now they just charge big fees and tell the press to jump in Lake Superior
We generally only do stories to which the media is oblivious. You see the media isn’t scared of silly Facebook photo stuff – but won’t look into the real issues at the jail.
We urge- and was hopeful when he was elected – that Marquette County Sheriff Gregory S. Zyburt to have the guts to take on the real issues at the courthouse.
Impeding access to legal mail, jailhouse man-on-man sex – and the whole “keep it from the media” attitude. We can’t even get the jail to send us mugshots without a hassle. Please call me sheriff. (906-273-2433)
We still think biggest scandal at jail is not giving inmates their legal mail (That is deplorable).
26-year-old Ryan Whitcomb of Little Lake, MI was busted Oct. 30, 2017 on two child abuse felonies and a charge of assault to do great bodily harm/strangulation>
Apparently the sheriff is cracking down on the brilliant inmate – and hopefully will figure out who did smuggling (inmate did not do it by himself).
So while we commend the efforts of our one-year sheriff – he is learning what the former sheriff had to put up with. Cr0onism at the courthouse – and convincing him the public doesn’t have the right to know. Marquette County is profiteering on public records charging up to 100 times what the feds charge for PUBLIC records. Greg we will be impressed if you can really fix things – especially without money in the coffers.
Please sheriff have the guts to take on this corruption – its kind of a sly under-the-cloth corruption.
The sad thing is everyone knows – but know one cares or are too afraid.
What about the sexual affairs and relationships between high-ranking Marquette County officials. One whopper of an affair – between two of the high ranking Marquette County officials – has been spreading like wildfire for a year.
U.P. Breaking News is considering revealing this – but not sure system could handle it without getting vicious. Why – because it calls into question partiality in the court system that every person has the right to a non-rigged trial.
Here are just a few federal lawsuits against jail:
That scandal is at the heart of our legal system in Marquette County – and ever Marquette lawyer knows about it – and gossips about the affair.
Also – Sheriff are you now allowing inmates to get mail? U.P. Breaking News has covered a lawsuit about this mail abuse. Who is punished for that?
So as we laugh at this idiot charged with child abuse who gave us a photo for gossip – remember it is dangerous when the media and officials collude – or at least the media is not free to report.
A message all you wonderful millennials – our cell-phone-holding future leaders – to whom we will be leaving the keys to the kingdom in next two decades:  See what is happening in real world. Not a screen.  Freedom is not free without a watchdog press – not lapdogs.
