EditorialsTalking back to Ext. 3337/3/2009 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.

"Keep raising the mill levy and Salina will be known as the city on the move -- moving all the old folks right out of town because they won't be able to afford their taxes. It'd be the all American city with no old people." "Yes, Salina needs a new expo center like my grandpa needs a new topless bar. Money is spent in better places, I think."
