Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.

You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!

I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
