Saline Hotel Project Set to Recommence
Mayor Brian Marl took to Facebook to announce that he met with the new owner of the stalled hotel project, along with the general contractor and trades people. Bacall Group LLC has rebranded the hotel as a Hampton Inn By Hilton.

Chick-Fil-A Fundraiser Canceled
Saline Area Schools is asking the community to suggest new ways to fundraise after a Saline Music Boosters Fundraiser was canceled after complaints from the community.
The Saline Music Boosters planned to raise funds by selling Chick-Fil-A sandwiches at music events. Chick-Fil-A is a lightning rod in America's culture wars - read why here.
The school district took to Facebook to announce it had canceled the fundraiser. But it also asked the community to help identify ways of raising funds. People were invited to make suggestions on a Google form.
Reaction to the announcement was mixed - with many people thanking the district for canceling the fundraiser and others criticizing the district for succumbing to bullying.
