Saline County population up slightly

MICHAEL STRAND
After several years of slight population growth, projections from the U.S. Census Bureau call for Saline County to begin a slow slide as soon as next year.

The figures, which break population changes down to the city and township level across the state, were released earlier this week.

The next actual national head count is scheduled for 2010, and Salina is already working to ensure the most accurate count possible, said Andy Martin, executive director of the Salina Area United Way, who is leading Census efforts with the city of Salina and the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce.

nate says.... Our government needs the exorbitant taxes that they collect on tobacco. the less people who smoke the more they will tax the rest of us to make up for the loss in revenue. I dont smoke but I say light up we are gonna need a lot of money to keep our new car companys (gm and chrysler) in business. while we are at it how about we outlaw hamburgers and coffee. It also seems we could vastly improve the health of our citizens if we enact a law to mandate that everyone brush their teeth 3 times a day. Bad breath infringes on my right to enjoy clean air. Stick to providing services and stick your seatbelt and smoking laws somewhere else.

Talking back to Ext. 333

Don't like public art? Give the $300,000 to Mr. Cue Ball for a new rug

"Seems like kind of a foolish time to be spending $300,000 on the I-70 North Ninth Street exit to spruce it up. I don't see anything wrong with it right now. It's got grass, trees enough. I just don't understand it. I'd also like to find out what happened to all of Ben Wearing's hair."

We're not sure what happened to Mr. Cue Ball's hair, but for a lot less than $300,000 you could get a quality rug for his head, and that would go a long way toward beautifying Salina. full story
