"Yes, this is for the people whothatwould like to have the swimming pool. If they'd all like to get together and build a pool for Salina, I think people would appreciate it. But for us on a fixed income, we really can't help support them."

"This is for the person who is worried about motorcycle drivers or riders wearing helmets. You don't need to wear a helmet, if you don't have the rest of your body to go along with your head there's no need for one. Falling off a motorcycle at 70 mph, I don't think your head's a big worry."

New here. says....
I am fairly new to Salina, and the other day a New Ford F250 clubcab pulled up be side me. When I saw it was the animal control vehicle owned by the city of Salina I couldn't beleive it. Does the dog catcher really need this expensive vehicle to do their job? Plus, think of the gas it uses just driving around Salina. I think this should be looked into before we cut jobs, etc.
